Police are investigating; preliminary reports suggest the men were shot.
Gwinnett Police were on the scene at a townhouse-style residence at 1687 Cannonball Court in unincorporated Lawrenceville, where three men were found dead by a passerby earlier this evening. Early police reports suggested the men had been shot. GCPD spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith says a father was walking by the home with his children when he saw one of the bodies in the breezeway of the four-unit building. He immediately called police at around 6:45pm. Investigators found the bodies of the other two victims inside one of the units. According to Smith, it did not appear as though the home was being lived in as there was no furniture inside the unit. Lawrenceville Patch will continue to update this story as it develops.
