JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WCTV) -- The Jackson County Sheriff's Office says a mother and two young children are dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
Around 5 p.m. on Friday, deputies responded to a reported shooting on Robinson Road in northeastern Jackson County.
Upon arrival, officials found two deceased gunshot victims and a child who was still breathing but suffering from life-threatening injuries. The child was taken to the hospital but later passed away.
The deceased have been identified as 25-year-old Esbeibi Sanchez, 7-year-old Ronaldinio Ramirez-Sanchez, and 5-year-old Gustavo-Angel Ramirez-Sanchez.
JCSO says a preliminary investigation reveals that the two children were shot at the hands of their mother and the mother's gunshot wound appears to be self-inflicted.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office was assisted in the investigation by the State Attorney's Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Medical Examiner's Office.
