A reported custody dispute turned violent late Wednesday night in Lawson with 3 people shot and two dead.
The dead reported to be a woman and mother of the child in the middle of the dispute and the father of the child who shot her- his father-in-law- then turned the gun on himself.
The father-in-law is in a Metro hospital this morning.
Media reports say police were called to the home in this city that staddles the Clay and Ray County line earlier Wednesday evening and thought they had quieted the dispute.
The shooting reportedly happened several hours later after police had left.
The shooter was reportedly an Armed Forces veteran of the Iraq War and we're awaiting positive ident on the victims.
CSW condolences to the surviving family and friends of this terrible event.
