Newly released body camera footage from Muskogee, Oklahoma police provides a chilling glimpse into the moments officers responded to a tragic murder-suicide at the residence of NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson's in-laws. The incident claimed the lives of Jack and Terry Janway, aged 69 and 68 respectively, along with their 11-year-old grandson, who was also Johnson's wife Chandra's nephew.
The footage captures the final gunshot as police arrived at the scene following a 911 call reporting a disturbance and a person with a firearm. Officers can be heard discussing a victim observed near the front door, covered with a blanket. As they enter the unlocked home, announcing their presence, a distinct gunshot rings out.
According to updated information from the Muskogee Police Department, Jack Janway's body was found near the entrance. Terry Janway was discovered on a couch near a handgun. The young grandson was located in a bedroom. Authorities have indicated that they are investigating the incident as a potential murder-suicide, with Terry Janway considered a possible suspect.
In the wake of this tragedy, the Johnson family has requested privacy, and Legacy Motor Club, Johnson's racing team, confirmed his withdrawal from the NASCAR Cup Series event in Chicago. No further statements have been released by the family or the racing team.
