There is a widespread manhunt after a gruesome discovery at a rural home southeast of Tyler.
"You have bad people everywhere you go, and today it was in New Summerfield," said Cherokee County Sheriff Brent Dickson. "And with these three behind bars, when we know they won't be involved in that anymore, our community can sleep a little safer now, thanks to the men and women of law enforcement and good community members that assisted us get here."
Investigators say all four victims were shot to death.
Investigators also say the youngest victim was 18 years old and may have known one of the suspects.
