Superintendent Robert McGowan, District Commander for Fermanagh and Omagh, confirmed that all four individuals had suffered gunshot wounds and were from the same household.
“I am keen to, first and foremost, express my sympathy to family members and loved ones who are today left in total shock, and who will inevitably be struggling to come to terms with their unimaginable loss,” he said.
