The three children that were taken by their father from their mother's home in Columbus two weeks ago, died from gunshot wounds soon after the abduction, Columbus police said Thursday.
The bodies of the children, and that of their father Eddie Harrington were found in an industrial park near Fort Benning, east of the city.
Harrington had left a note at the house for the children's mother, Agena Battle, threatening to kill the three. He sent a similar note to his father.
They had been missing since March 5, and had been originally thought to have fled the state towards Harrington's father's home in Indiana.
