Officials on Monday identified the four people found dead at a Coweta County home over the weekend after a suspected murder-suicide.

Dispatchers were flooded with 911 calls shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday about a situation at a home on Crabapple Court, about four miles north of Highway 34. Coweta sheriff’s office spokesman Toby Nix said deputies located two bodies in the driveway and one in the doorway upon arrival.

At some point after deputies arrived, officials said a man ran into the home and a gunshot was heard. The county’s SWAT team was subsequently asked to respond to help secure the area. A fourth body was eventually found inside the home, Nix stated.

According to officials, Brandon Suckow is accused of fatally shooting three people before taking his own life. The victims were identified as Joshua David Wimmer, Tina Elaine Sasser and Parker Bethel Anderson by the sheriff’s office.

Authorities did not elaborate on their relation to each other, and a motive was not provided.
