There was no evidence of a struggle. Haines City is southwest of Orlando.
Mark Joseph, 43, had called 911 and told dispatchers that he had shot his wife and children, police said. He then told the dispatcher that he intended to shoot himself and that the door would be unlocked.
Responding officers and deputies said they Marie Joseph, 43, lying on a couch with her husband in a nearby chair. Darren Joseph, 18, and Markus Joseph, 14, were found in their respective beds.
All four had gunshot wounds to the head, investigators said. Marie Joseph had also been shot in the shoulder.

he thinks he is "saving" them. From the fallout of his murdering their mother, from being separated from each other (1 is 18 the other 14) Maybe he was mad at them too, if they defended their Mom (turned against him.)
