Three people were found shot to death in what is believed to be double homicide-suicide in Washington County, according to the county coroner’s office.

Those found dead Monday night inside a McDonald home on Valley Street were Suzanne Faingnaert, 57, and 27-year-olds Christina Garove and James Garove, according to the coroner. All three were from McDonald. Both Garoves live on Valley Street. Faingnaert lived nearby.

The coroner said the cause and manner of death for all three were pending the results of autopsies.

The shooting was reported shortly after 8 p.m. Monday in the 200 block of Valley Street.

No information has been released by state police in Washington.

A family member created an online fundraising account for Faingnaert and Christina Garove indicating that they were the victims of a fatal shooting.
