"My son-in-law shot my daughter. 55 Brook Lane," Jean Fletcher told a dispatcher.

"You're son-in-law shot your daughter?" the dispatcher asked.

"Yes, and he shot my husband, too. Hurry," Fletcher said.

Richard Fletcher, 70, was shot in the abdomen, but survived.

After learning Exsell Negron was in a bedroom still inside the home, the dispatcher told Jean Fletcher to get out of the house. Fletcher told the dispatcher she had to get the baby out, a reference to one of her grandchildren. She made it out of the home unharmed.

Exsell Negron killed himself before police arrived.
