The victims of the brutal attack have been identifies as Gloria Short, her son Caleb Short and her granddaughter Gianna Lindsey, aged 10.
The bodies of the three family members were discovered at 8:30am, when Mrs Short’s husband Robert Short returned from his job and found the three lifeless bodies scattered throughout the family’s home in Georgia.
Autopsies on the three bodies are scheduled for Wednesday.
Police Maj. Gil Slouchick said Monday afternoon that they had not identified any suspects yet, but there were bloody footprints found at the scene.
‘We’re still trying to piece everything together,’ he said.
‘I’ve been in office for 3 years now and this is way out of the ordinary to see a triple homicide in Muscogee County,’ Coroner Buddy Bryan told WLTZ.
Neighbors say Mrs Short was a friendly woman who was very hospitable when they came over to the home to spent time with Caleb, who attended Shaw High School.
