Neighbors describe son's strange behavior after fatal triple shooting in Barrow County

BARROW COUNTY, Ga. - A man and his wife are dead and their adult son is in the hospital following a triple shooting at their home in Barrow County on Thursday morning.

The shooting reportedly happened before 5:45 a.m. on the 800 block of Kendall Park Drive in Winder.

Investigators with the Barrow County Sheriff's Office say they arrived after receiving a 911 call and found the bodies of a 66-year-old woman and a 64-year-old man. 

A 35-year-old man, the couple's son, was also found with a gunshot wound. Medics rushed that man, who police say was the 911 caller, to a local hospital.

One neighbor told us that it's unnerving to hear that the couple are gone, saying they were about her age and their deaths are really heartbreaking.

FOX 5 has learned that this isn't the first time authorities have responded to violence at the home.

Neighbor Stephany Hernandez said, "Considering it's that house in particular, I'm not surprised."

Multiple neighbors told FOX 5 the adult son keeps to himself, but they have witnessed a lot of what they call weird behavior.

"He would walk around in freezing cold weather – shorts, t-shirts, no shoes," neighbor Joan Willard said.

"Multiple times people have said – who is this guy going between bushes?," according to Hernandez.

"There's times I would come home and he's laying down in the driveway. His driveway. It was just strange," Willard added.

History of violence at the home

The Barrow County Sheriff's Office confirmed to FOX 5 that there is a history of violence associated with the home on Kendall Park Drive.

Records show the son was arrested last May on charges he stabbed his stepfather. Investigators report the 35-year-old allegedly admitted to the crime because "he did not like him."

Court documents show the man was granted a $20,000 bond and sent to a mental health facility for 45 days. A grand jury indicted him in August for aggravated assault and possession of a knife during commission of a felony.

As the investigation into the triple shooting continues, neighbors are extending their condolences.

"I don't know if they have extended family outside the home, but I do feel sorry for the family," Willard said.

The sheriff's office does not believe there is any kind of threat to the community.

The sheriff's office has not confirmed the identity of the victims and have not released any information about the suspected shooter at this time.
