Officers responding to a 911 call found the injured man in front of the residence, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. Inside, they found the three deceased victims. The injured man was taken to a hospital where he was listed in stable condition.

Horne was arrested at a hospital while seeking treatment for a gunshot wound, police said.

He has been charged with three counts open murder, two counts assault with intent to murder, one count first degree home invasion, one count felon in possession of a firearm and one count felony firearm.
