Four people are confirmed dead after an Arizona man shot his wife and two children before killing himself in a murder-suicide.
The horrific events took place Friday, while officers responded to the scene located near 100th Street and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard Saturday, police confirmed.
Jason Fairbanks, 39, shot and killed his wife, Annie Fairbanks, 39, as well as his daughter, 3, and son, 9 months, before turning the gun on himself.
