One Adult, Three Children Dead in Possible Murder-Suicide

Gwinnett Police responded to a distressing scene early Wednesday morning at Lucky Shoals Park in Tucker. Around 1:00 am, an officer on patrol discovered a suspicious vehicle parked along a pedestrian trail at the park’s location on 4651 Britt Road.
