ROBERTSON COUNTY, Ky. — Three people were found with gunshot wounds inside the burned remains of a building in Robertson County, Ky. on Sunday, according to Kentucky State Police.
KSP said the building was reported on fire Sunday afternoon, and when firefighters arrived, they were told there may have been people still inside.
WCPO obtained a cell phone video of the fire from a neighbor who did not want to be identified. They noticed the fire after hearing what sounded like gunshots or fireworks.
When KSP officers arrived at around 3:29 p.m., the fire was so intense that firefighters could not get inside.
The building on Oak Ridge Road continued burning but, at around 9 p.m. Sunday night, officials were able to make their way inside. Inside, they found three adults dead, with gunshot wounds.
KSP said two of the adults seemed to have been shot, while the third's gunshot wound appeared to be self-inflicted. KSP said a family including two men and a woman lived at the home.
WCPO spoke with neighbors who didn't want to go on camera but said the family moved to Kentucky from New York. They built their home about three years ago. They also said it was an elderly couple who lived there with their adult son. While someone told us they know who fired the gun, and who intentionally set the house on fire, KSP has not confirmed that information.
The case is still under investigation, according to KSP. Officials have not yet released the names of the three people found dead.
