Police say the Ismails were married but had recently separated and were not living together. Mary Ismail and the daughter were inside a truck waiting for the school bus to arrive when Bobby Ismail showed up at a driveway off of Sikes Mill Road.
Bobby was found just outside the home.
After the shootings, the young daughter ran to get help, and a second person nearby then called police.
Neighbors say Mary Ismail had moved in with another man and they were living together in a different community.
