SULPHUR, La. (AP) — A 4-year-old boy was killed and his father died in an apparent murder-suicide in Sulphur.

Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Myers tells KPLC-TV though the investigation is in the preliminary stage it appears that 59-year-old Kenneth Bacque shot his son and then himself Sunday night.

Sheriff's deputies responded to a home around 10:30 p.m. Sunday following reports that Bacque' had posted on the social media site Facebook that he was going to kill himself and possibly harm his child.

Myers says arriving deputies were unable to contact Bacque' and forced their way into the home where they found Bacque' and his son in a bedroom dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
