Police say at about 9:10 p.m. deputies discovered the bodies of the four victims on a front porch, inside a home and on the front lawn of a residence in the 200 block of Carriage Circle Drive.

According to authorities, the victim on the front porch was deceased upon their arrival. The remaining three victims were alive at that time and were taken to the hospital for treatment.
