Mother, 2 children and a dog found dead in "gruesome" crime scene
A southwest Florida man is in custody after his girlfriend, her teenage daughter, the couples toddler and their dog were found dead at their home.
Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott described the scene at the apartment as a "gruesome" crime scene, reports CBS affiliate WINK.
Police found 37-year-old Tammy Modlin and 16-year-old Montana Modlin dead on a bed with a firearm between them. The deputies also found 3-year-old Jeanne Carlopoli and a dog fatally stabbed.
"Patrick had visible blood splatter on his body and clothing," an arrest report said, WINK reports.
The report said that Carlopoli told deputies that he shot his "wife," though officials say the couple wasn't married.
