Officials have released the cause of death for each family member killed in the East Lansdowne tragedy, along with a timeline of events that led to the deadly shooting and fire earlier this month.
Tragedy struck a local community earlier this month when five members of one family were killed in a shooting that erupted into a devastating fire that burned their home to the ground.The remains of the Mclaughlin-Le family, including the suspected gunman, were recovered after authorities spent two days sifting through the wreckage of the East Lansdowne house.
Flames burst from inside the home for several hours, forcing law enforcement to wait until it was deemed safe to execute the heartbreaking search the following day.Officials say a total of eight people lived inside the house, including Canh, his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and their three children.The victims have been identified as 40-year-old Xuong Le, his wife, 37-year-old Britni McLaughlin Le and their children, NaTalya, 17, NaKayla, 13 and Xavier, 10.
