Neighbors in Le Grand are stunned and horrified after the murders of three children all under the age of 8.
The young victims were found dead inside an apartment on Brice Street. Deputies rushed to the scene just after 2 Wednesday afternoon.
"Apparently, there was a gentleman that was screaming for help," says Daryl Allen with the Merced County Sheriff's Office.
Elias Vargas says he was home when he heard the man screaming then saw him walking back and forth between the complex and Le Grand Elementary, which is just feet away.
"He said, 'My kids were killed!' so that's when I realized something serious happened there at the house," Vargas said.
A woman was found inside the same unit as the children with what officials believe are self-inflicted wounds. She was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Modesto and listed in critical condition.
The sheriff's office hasn't revealed information about her relationship to the children, how they died or who is suspected of killing them.
But neighbors say a married couple and their three kids live inside the apartment.
Maria Elena lives next door to the apartment where the children were found. She says she heard adults arguing from time to time in past, but nothing unusual or concerning recently.
Now, neighbors are waiting for answers about how this unthinkable tragedy could have happened in their quiet, small town.
"I'll just call it a family," Allen said. "Le Grand is more of a family. Everybody in this town knows everybody. It's definitely going to hurt a lot of people."
