Jimmie Johnson and his family need all the prayers this week.
The Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion’s in-laws and his 11-year-old nephew were found dead in what authorities believe was a murder-suicide on Monday, according to TMZ.
Jack and Terry Janway, the parents of Johnson’s wife, Chandra, and their grandson, Dalton Janway, were all found dead at a home in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Police received a call from a woman who reported that somebody had a gun before hanging up.
Authorities said Terry Janway was considered to be the suspect but a motive has not yet been determined. Police said a body was found in the hallway and a gunshot was heard from inside the home when officers arrived at the scene.
The other two bodies were located shortly after and all three individuals were reported to have died from gunshot wounds.
Johnson and Chandra Janway have been married since 2004 and share two daughters, Genevieve and Lydia.
