A 53-year-old woman shot her daughter and two small grandchildren before killing herself inside the Greenacres home they shared, Greenacres police said Sunday.
Grandmother Nilda Sheffield shot her daughter Elizabeth Flores, 30, and grandchildren Xavier Neff, 7, and Sofia Chiddo, 2, said Greenacres police Lt. Brady Myers.
Police are searching for a motive in the apparent murder-suicide in the 4600 block of Chariot Circle.
The horrific scene was discovered by a family friend about noon Saturday, Myers said.
"That friend told authorities they had not been accounted for since Friday evening," Myers said.
A group of young adults and small children gathered at the edge of yellow police tape in the neighborhood of duplexes, at times weeping and hugging each other on Saturday afternoon.
