Florida, January 24: A Woman and two young children were found shot dead today at an exclusive gated community in southern Florida, after a man confessed the killings to paramedics when he crashed his car.
The Palm Beach Post reported Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputies arrived at a house in the gated Isles community in Wellington, Florida, to find the bodies of a woman and two young children shot to death, according to the Post.
County records indicate the property is owned by Neal M. Jacobson, 49, and wife Franki Jacobson, 53.
The children did not appear to be older than seven or eight, the newspaper said.
Officials rushed to the home after a car crash early today when the driver told emergency responders he had just killed his family, a sheriff’s office spokesman said.
Authorities would not immediately confirm whether the Jacobsons were involved with the murders. But a sport utility vehicle at the site of the accident was registered to Mr Jacobson.
The driver was taken to the Delray Medical Centre.
