This morning, tragedy struck in Murfreesboro, Tenn as an Alabama man whose wife had recently been found dead-ended the lives of his two children and then his own. 

Four people are now dead due to the horrendous chain of events that began with the discovery made by deputies in Madison County, Alabama when they entered Jamie Lepore’s home for a welfare check. 

The deputies found his wife Jennifer inside, deceased. Jennifer was a special education aide at Hazel Green Elementary School, leaving behind her students and colleagues in stunned grief. Our hearts ache for all those affected by this senseless act of violence.

The Lepore family tragedy has shocked the Madison County community. Jamie Lepore was reported missing, taking his two children with him, so authorities started a search by tracking them to Rutherford County, Tennessee. 

Unfortunately, their location was found too late; when police arrived at a house on Cason Lane around 8:30 am this morning, they heard several gunshots from within the home as they spoke to two others outside it. Upon entering the house, police found Jamie Lepore and his children dead inside. 

In addition to closing roads in order to protect safety in relation to the investigation, authorities have not been able to give any further information about the shocking deaths at this time.
