In a bizarre and horrific incident, a family, consisting of a mother and three young girls, was found dead inside a rural Michigan home.

According to reports by WOOD-TV, the 28-year-old Aubrianne Moore, and her three young daughters Alaina, 2, Cassidy, 6, and Kyrie, 8, died of gunshot wounds in mysterious circumstances.

However, the reports further suggest that the police, after probing the property, has said that the children were shot somewhere else and brought to the home, but the investigators are thus far to figure out what the second crime scene is.

The updated reports suggest that it was a murder-suicide and that maybe the mother must have killed her daughters after which she killed herself.

Though the authorities haven't confirmed the family's relationships, but the other family members told WOOD-TV that the girls were sisters and Moore was their mother.

“They were awesome kids, absolutely great. The oldest excelled in reading like no other. The youngest one, she was just so joyful and so happy all the time. And then the middle child, she was just rambunctious and wild and always put a smile on everybody’s face,” their cousin Alyssa Rau told WOOD-TV.

The investigation in this regard is ongoing.
