When deputies arrived on scene, three people were found dead inside a home.
This was revealed in a 10 a.m. news conference from Forsyth Sheriff Duane Piper. The dispatcher said the caller advised of his wife: ‘She will be the only one that can talk to him.’. Jared was 8 and Jacob was 9.
A woman died from gunshot wounds on the way to the hospital and another man was in critical condition, Piper said. He says there were indications that Matthew Fields and Rebecca Manning were having relationship troubles. The father of the children was identified as Robbie Smith, who lives a few miles from the home.
SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) – A Georgia man who was having relationship troubles with his wife killed her, two of her sons and himself Wednesday, less than a day after police had visited the home on a domestic violence call, authorities said.
Later that month, a Cobb County woman killed her three children, ranging in age from 9 months old to 10 years old, before killing herself, according to investigators.
Four people are dead and one seriously injured after a shooting July 22.
“At this time, we believe this to be domestic related”, the post said. They also said the surrounding community is not in danger.
Police have said a family was wiped out but they don’t have a motive. It’s not clear where inside the home the others were shot.
Identities of those involved were not immediately released, but Doyle says the suspect in the case is known among local law officers from previous arrests.

The residence where the shooting occurred neighbors the Olde Atlanta Golf Club, a golf course community of more than 600 homes along the Chattahoochee River.
