THE BODIES OF THREE PEOPLE WHO WERE FOUND IN a blazing house Tuesday morning had all been shot. When the Central Islip Fire Department on Long Island, New York, pulled up on the scene around 5:30 am the house was fully involved with fire showing in every window and opening of the cape cod bungalow.

They also found two young childred outside and uninjured. The six-yr.-old boy woke up and smelled smoke in the house and he grabbed his two-yr.-old sister and pulled her out through the bedroom window.
After the firefighters knocked the fire down, they discovered the bodies of the children’s 28-yr.-old mother along with her 30-yr.-old sister and a friend aged 19. It wasn’t until hours later after the fire scene had cooled down enough for the medical examiner to inspect the bodies that he was able to find that all of them had been shot.
