A MURDER-suicide at an Alabama home left three dead after a boyfriend gunned down a mother and her eight-year-old son before shooting himself after a fight.
Police arrived at the home on Charolais Drive in Tuscaloosa to conduct a well-fare check at around 3am on Thursday morning.
According to the Tuscaloosa sheriff's Office, Darrin Lamar Patton Jr, 34, shot and killed his girlfriend Derika Shanice McGhee, 29, and her son Aiden Carter Williams, 8.
Police quickly learned from several witnesses, who were inside the home before officials arrived, that a domestic argument may have unfolded between the couple before the shooting.
Witnesses told investigators that Patton was inside with McGhee and her son when he possibly opened fire.
When cops arrived at the scene, they discovered Patton, McGhee, and 8-year-old Williams dead.
Police said Patton was not the father of Williams.
The incident is still under investigation by Tuscaloosa police.
