"Mollie Schefer, 47, was found on the staircase of a house with gunshot wounds to the chest around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when police were dispatched to Cecilia Drive after a neighbor reported hearing gunshots and screaming. Schefer was pronounced dead at the scene. Two dogs were also found with gunshot wounds. One dog was dead and the other was wounded."
"Officers discovered that a back gate had been opened and a glass sliding door at the rear of the house was shattered in the area where the shots were heard. As of Friday, police said they have not identified a suspect or the firearm used in the incident. Officials are now asking the public for help. Anyone with information relating to the case is asked to call the tip line at 707-543-3590."
