FRENCHBURG, Ky. -- A family of four was found shot to death in eastern Kentucky in what is being treated as a triple murder and a suicide, Kentucky State Police said.
The bodies of Bryan Purvis, 34; his wife, Jeanie, 29; their son Bryan, 11; and daughter Jennifer, 8, were found at 6:30 p.m. Sunday in their home west of Frenchburg, police said. All died of gunshot wounds, Capt. Keith Craycraft said in a statement. Police did not say who they believed was the shooter.

Police and neighbors said the Purvis family moved into the house about a month ago.
