At this time investigators believe this to be a murder/suicide. The investigation is still on going to ensure no other parties were involved.
The Llano County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank Granite Shoals Police Chief John Ortis and his officers for their response to this critical incident, and much needed resources that were brought to the scene.
