Katelynn, 6, Ronald, 4, and Joshua, 3, were found dead inside their home on Friday after police responded to reports of a man with a gun, Michigan officials said.

“Their mother, 40-year-old Dawn Gillard was also killed, presumably by their father and husband, a 51-year-old male, who then is believed to have turned the firearm on himself, leading to a gun shot wound to the head,” the Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The man, who police have not named, was taken to the hospital, where he was said to be in critical condition.

“The sheriff’s office also continues to monitor the suspect and his current condition and is also in communication with the prosecutor,” the department wrote in an update on Tuesday.  

“Once our investigation is complete, the MCSO will forward the report to the Mecosta County Prosecutor’s Office for review for formal charges.”

The MCSO stated that until charges are filed, there will be no further updates as to not “jeopardize any future criminal proceedings and out of respect to the family.”

HAUNTING VIDEOS

Salisbury shared multiple TikToks after the discovery of her slain family members.

“What the f**k?” Salisbury cried multiple times in a video, which featured on-screen text that read: “Please, please, please hold your family close and don’t take them for granted, you never know what could happen.”

Another video featured Salisbury staring at the camera with the words on screen reading: “I WILL find a way to speak to you before you rot and die prison you disgusting sickening thing.”

Salisbury explained in her comments that her reason for sharing the videos was to cope with the sudden loss of her family.

“Don’t come at me, please,” she wrote in a pinned comment on one of her videos.

“Whenever someone talks act [sic] family passing, y’all say the rudest things. JUST KEEP SCROLLING.”

A GoFundMe was created by a family member of the Gillard family to help with the expenses of the four funerals.

“No matter how much you prepare yourself for something like this in our line of work, it never is easy,” Sheriff Brian Miller said in a statement to People.

“It sticks with you. Our hearts go our to the remaining family members, who have to go on with their lives not having their loved ones part of it.”

Miller added that he was speechless and had no answer as to why or how something like this could happen.

“We have a strong community, who has always been there for one another during times of need,” he said.

“Although heartbreaking, this tragedy is no different. We will come together, unified in purpose to make sure these kids and their mother are not forgotten, with justice being served.”

The superintendent of Morley Stanwood Elementary School, where one of the Gillard children attended, released a statement on the tragedy.

“There are a lot of emotions to deal with and to process as a result of this terrible loss. We want to give our Mohawk family and greater community a time and place to mourn, to weep, to pray and to begin healing,” said Roger Coles.

A candlelight vigil was held on Monday at the school’s football field.

Authorities are asking anyone with information on the case to contact Detective Sergeant Mike Mohr at (231) 592-0150.
