Deputies arrived at the scene when the father, identified as 64-year-old Thomas Schultz, called 911 to say he was in an “impossible situation with no way out.”

The responding officers found Schultz dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. They also found his wife and stepdaughter dead. While the wife was shot in her sleep, the stepdaughter was killed in her hospital bed. The family told authorities that both the women were suffering from terminal illnesses.
