The daughter is the only known survivor of the shooting, having taken three bullets but expected to pull through.The other three victims were a man in his 30s and two girls in their teens. A man who police suspect might have been the shooter’s husband broke through police tape while the house was surrounded and ran into the home, only to run out a minute later after two more shots were fired.
