In a suspected murder-suicide, a family of four has been found dead in the Columbus, Ohio home.
In Whitehall, east Columbus, police responded to a call at around 2pm, and found the bodies of Mark Meeks, Jennifer Dallas-Meeks, Jimmy Meeks and Abbigail Meeks.
"We're confirming all four victims had gunshot wounds, and a gun was found at the scene," Sgt. Dan Kelso said.
A suicide note purportedly written by Meeks also was found at the scene, but police are not releasing the note's contents, Kelso said.
Authorities believe Meeks shot his wife and two children and then himself, Kelso said.
This is the second suspected murder-suicide in a week, however this motive is not thought to be a financial one.

Very early with no indication of motive. Why are they sure it is not financial I wonder.
