NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson’s in-laws and their grandson were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in Oklahoma last month, and now we are getting a first-hand account of that dreadful night.
On Tuesday, TMZ got ahold of police body cam footage of them at the home that shos them hearing a single gun shot as they got set to enter the home. It turns out it was Johnson’s mother-in-law killing herself.
Officers arrived and saw one person dead in a hallway inside the front door before they heard a gunshot and then found two others dead inside the home.
