From Times Wire Reports
Port St. Lucie authorities found what appeared to be the bodies of a family of four gunned down overnight along an isolated stretch of highway: a woman clutching two children in a desperate effort to protect them, with a man’s body nearby.
Investigators believe the victims’ vehicle had pulled to the side of the Florida Turnpike before someone else in the vehicle shot them and drove away sometime between 1:30 and 3 a.m., St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said.
The sheriff would not say whether investigators knew of a motive or had any suspects.
