KOPPERSTON, W.Va. -- Wyoming County authorities are investigating the fatal shootings of three family members in a double murder-suicide.

Sheriff Randall Aliff told WCHS-TV that 54-year-old James Maynard II shot his 50-year-old wife Tammy and 25-year-old son Chad with a 9mm semiautomatic pistol, and then shot himself.

Aliff says another family member found the bodies Monday afternoon in a mobile home in the community of Crany near Kopperston.

Police haven't determined a motive. The bodies have been sent to the state medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
