San Mateo police say they got a call for a welfare check at the home on Monday. They had to break a window to get inside, and that's when they found four people dead. "A 9mm handgun legally registered to Henry was located on the bathroom floor where both adults' bodies were located. Our investigation shows Benziger succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, while Henry suffered from a single shot. The cause of death for the minor boys is still pending pathology, but we can confirm they did not die from gunfire or show signs of bodily trauma," police said in a statement.
"Our investigation into the motive for this tragedy continues. While we can't undo this horrific incident, we would like to share with our community both domestic violence and mental health resources, because there is help and/or assistance out there, and something like this does not need to happen again," police said.
