This was something that was specifically done within this family. So as tragic as it is, I want the community as a whole to realize that there's not something else that's going on out there beyond what we had with this domestic violence issue or this issue that we had in this house," Chamberlain said during a press conference Saturday.He said the investigation into the circumstances that led up to the shooting will be lengthy. The scene will be meticulously processed, and interviews with hospital staff and witnesses will be conducted."We want to look at what occurred at this house prior to what the environment has been in this house. Has there been law enforcement intervention? Has there been other types of intervention that has occurred around this location? Is this a history in this house?" he said.No other details were immediately available.
