Mina said two other small children were in the home when the massacre erupted, but hid under their blankets when they heard the gunfire. Neither were harmed.

Jones had been in a romantic relationship with one of the victims, with whom he argued the previous night, Mina said. Jones left the home, only to return with a gun and open fire, Mina said.

Police said the couple didn’t have a record of domestic violence. and noted Jones had no criminal history aside from a prior misdemeanor.

The woman who escaped the shooting was expected to recover.
