Sources say there is a history of domestic violence in the home. However, according area residents, the family appeared to be happy.

"There wasn't no abusive, foul play - none of that...they wouldn't have no problems. I'm shocked to see something happen," said one neighbor.

There were several young children in the home, and the siblings would often be sen playing outside with no apparent signs of trouble.
