Four bodies were discovered in an Arkansas home on Monday, according to local law enforcement.
The remains were uncovered inside a Little Rock home, all four having suffered from gunshot wounds before the property was burned down, ABC News reported. One of those found at the scene is thought to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, and further details on the deceased have yet to be released, pending autopsies. (RELATED: ‘I Did Him So Bad’: Tape Allegedly Shows Murder Suspect React To Graphic Photos Of His Dead Son)
