The bodies were discovered inside the home.
They had visible gunshot wounds and had already started to decompose, as reported on Need To Know.
A loaded pistol, believed to be the murder weapon, was found on a table in the living room.
An empty cartridge was also found close to his 16-year-old sister’s body.
The accused teen was adopted.
His 57-year-old dad was a police officer.
It’s alleged the suspect knew where his adoptive father kept his gun and he had tested it shortly before the crime.
He allegedly shot his father when he was in the kitchen with his back turned.
When his sister heard the bang, she came into the kitchen and was shot in the face, it is alleged.
After killing the pair, the suspect went to the gym.
