Three teenagers were found dead by a family member Tuesday afternoon inside a home in Crosby, Texas.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said he believes the incident, which left two females and one male dead, could be a double-homicide-suicide, Fox 10 Phoenix reported. Police are still determining the relationships between the teens, though two may be related and the other a friend, Gonzalez said during a press conference Tuesday.
