FLOWERY BRANCH, GA — Hall County investigators say a 9-year-old girl witnessed a murder-suicide inside a Flowery Branch home over the weekend.

Deputies responded to a residence on the 5400 block of Bushnell Court after the child FaceTimed a friend to report that she had seen the man who lived there shoot and kill a woman. The friend immediately told her parents, who called 911.

When officers arrived, they found a 50-year-old woman dead from multiple gunshot wounds near the doorway and a man dead in the basement from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The child was discovered hiding in a bedroom closet. Authorities say she was not physically harmed and is now in the care of a relative.

Investigators believe the man shot the woman before turning the gun on himself. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says the case remains open and under investigation.
