Le’s mother, Chin Le, told Action News that she heard Canh Le having an argument with his 13-year-old niece in an upstairs bedroom.

Chin Le said she heard Canh Le say he was going to get a gun.

That’s when Chin Le said her husband took her out of the home and the shots were fired. Chin Le said it was her husband who called 911.

She went on to say her other son, Xuong Le, and his wife, Britni McLaughlin-Le, were also presumed dead, along with their three children, Nakayla, 13, Natalya, 17, and Xavier, 10.
