Here is a timeline of events that left the sibling's parents dead:

Police officers responded to a home on Haines Street in the West Oak Lane neighborhood around 7:25 p.m. to find Maisah Larkin with several gunshot wounds to her head, Philadelphia police said. Medics pronounced the 39-year-old woman dead on the scene.

Police later tracked down the suspected shooter and father of the triplets -- 37-year-old Stanley Baptiste -- inside a Lincoln Navigator in Lansdale, Montgomery County, law enforcement sources said. As police approached the SUV, Baptiste shot and killed himself, police said.

The children weren't in the vehicle, so Pennsylvania State Police put out social media messages asking for help locating the 2-year-olds.

Early Monday morning, state police said the children -- two girls and a boy -- were located safe. Sources said they children were found outside of Philadelphia.

This is the latest deadly shooting in Philadelphia as the homicide count for 2022 approaches 500. Entering Monday, police reported 499 homicides in Philadelphia. That number is down about 8% from the same time last year, which wound up the deadliest on record in the city.
