TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A woman and her three young children were found slain Saturday in a north Florida home, and homicide detectives were out looking for whoever might have had a reason to harm them, police said.
Family and neighbors said the woman was a single, stayat-home mother raising twin 6-year-old girls and a 3-yearold son.
Police spokesman David McCranie wouldn’t elaborate on the signs of violence police found at the home, but the case is being investigated as a homicide, not a murdersuicide.
The man who lives two doors down said the neighborhood had burglary problems in recent years, though the crimes had waned with increased police patrols. Mc-Cranie said he wasn’t aware of a lot of problems in the neighborhood and that police hadn’t been called to the onestory home before.
