Cops: Grandmother kills daughter, grandchildren, self

GREENACRES, Fla. -- Officials say a 53-year-old Palm Beach County, Fla. woman killed her 30-year-old daughter and two young grandchildren before turning the gun on herself.

Their bodies were found Saturday by a family friend who was checking on their well-being.

Greenacres Police Lt. Brady Myers says Nilda Sheffield killed Elizabeth Flores and 7-year-old Xavier Neff and 2-year-old Sofia Chiddo. They are still searching for a motive for the apparent murder-suicide.

A makeshift shrine had been set up in the yard of the duplex where the family lived.
