A devastating scene unfolded in a New Jersey city after a shooting left two parents and their teenage children dead on Sunday morning.
Authorities responding to the family's Linden home off Chatham Place around 9:30 a.m. found three of the victims dead and a fourth, one of the children, still alive but in critical condition.
Law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case believe the father fired upon his wife and kids before turning the gun on himself.
The teen was rushed to Newark University Hospital, but ultimately died from injuries sustained in the shooting hours later, officials confirmed. The mayor said the teenagers were 13 and 14 years old.

Officials believe the gunman is among the dead discovered at the home and that no further threat exists to the public.
"Linden is a strong community and we will support them however possible as they mourn and recover," Gov. Phil Murphy said in a statement late Sunday.
Additional details surrounding the incident and investigation were not made available.
