Neighbors spoke with Dayton 24/7 Now Reporter Jenilee Borek on Tuesday. Many of them said they do not know much, but described the neighborhood as being quiet and safe. Neighbors were feeling both grief and fear, and they described the family as a nice, Christian family.

"I did not sleep last night at all," Tia Turner, a neighbor and military veteran said. Turner said she owns firearms and has them in a safe place, but is making sure she is prepared. "Right now, we're just havin' a hard time to deal with what's going on in our neighborhood and dealing with such a sweet person who has gone too fast," said Turner.

Turner said that her kids played with Flynn's children, and Turner's daughter is in the same class as one of Flynn's daughters. Turner's kids did not want to go to school today, and she said the neighborhood will not be the same now.

Investigators secured the scene and collected evidence late into the night Monday night and continued Tuesday morning.
An autopsy was done Tuesday morning, and investigators are waiting for the full autopsy report, but are following up on any information the autopsy was able to provide.

Chief Adkins said investigators are confident that the evidence being collected will provide answers into what happened, adding that, "The family and the community deserve answers and the most thorough investigation possible.

The department understands the community’s concern regarding the identification of a suspect or suspects. We want to reassure the public that investigators are actively reviewing all tips, processing evidence, examining possible motives, and continuing scene-related investigations. While we remain committed to transparency, certain information must be protected to preserve the integrity of the investigation."

Dayton 24/7 Now requested the 911 call, but as of this story, Chief Adkins said the Miami County Prosecutor's Office had not authorized the release of the recording yet.

Interesting that the article says LE was called to the house for the burglary and not the shooting. Article also says two shots were fired.

Was the 911 call before or after the shots?

At 2:30 am, presumably the entire family would be sleeping - how did AF encounter the burglar, rather than (or in addition to) CF? She heard noises and went to investigate on her own? (Seems unlikely IMHO) He went to investigate and she went to protect the kids and somehow encountered the burglar, who fled after shooting her without encountering CF?

What needs to be established:
Were there cameras/security at the house
Was anything removed from the house
What were the "signs of forced entry" and were there signs of a panicked exit as well
Are there vehicle tracks, footprints, other signs that someone broke in and then fled
Content of the 911 call - is it only about "there's someone in the house" or does it talk about shots being fired and AF being injured
