Shortly after the post was uploaded to the social network on Thursday, investigators confirmed a multiple homicide involving relatives had taken place at two different residences in the province.

Following the shootings, police surrounded one of the homes and tried to speak to a man inside, officials said. They then fired gas grenades into the house, which caught fire and exploded into flames.

Although the man and the victims are yet to be formally identified, Janzen owned the home that exploded on Llanberis Way in Rosedale. Neighbors said a family of three lived at the property.

Janzen is believed to have killed himself during the police standoff, according to The Province newspaper. It is not yet confirmed that he wrote the post that appeared on his Facebook page.

On Friday, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team spokeswoman, Sergeant Stephanie Ashton, said: ‘It is believed that several members of one family including the suspect are deceased.’

She said that one body had been located in the house that did not explode, situated in Langely. But she added she could not confirm the number of victims at the crime scene at 10003 Llanberis Way.
