Two girls believed to be in their teens and a woman in her 30s were found fatally shot inside a multi-million dollar home located in an upscale, gated community in Boerne.

Family members at the scene identified the woman as Nichol Olsen. Authorities have not confirmed the name or released the names of the two girls.

A man who was dating the woman made the discovery just after 9 a.m. when he arrived at the home in the 11300 block of Anaqua Springs, in the Anaqua Springs Ranch community, officials said.

Authorities pronounced all three dead at the scene. All had suffered gunshot wounds to their upper torsos. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said the women were related to one another but did not specify their familial relationship.

Salazar said the two young girls appear to be the "victims of foul play" and that their apparent manner of death was homicide. The woman's manner of death has not been determined.

"It's just too early to tell on the third person if that is a murder or a suicide," Salazar said. "We'll let the medical examiner take a look at it."

Crime scene investigators are now examining the home where the woman and girls were found. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has set up a mobile crime lab outside to help process the scene.

"We're being meticulous about how this crime scene is processed, for certain," he said.

The man who discovered the bodies told authorities he was sleeping at another location the night prior to the slayings, though Salazar didn't detail where and why. Homicide detectives are questioning the man about his whereabouts and what may have led to the killings.

"It's just a shocking thing that you would never expect to happen here," said Laura Rendon, who lives in the neighborhood. "It's a very peaceful quiet neighborhood and nothing like this has ever happened before."

Later in the day, several family members and friends of the victims arrived at the Anaqua Spring community and, some solemnly and others frantically, made their way to the front gate, where they were confronted by security guards who blocked their access.

At least one man jumped the fence and ran inside, while several others found alternate routes inside or were permitted entrance. Almost all of them declined to comment on the killings.

The sheriff's office received no reports of gunshots in the area Wednesday night or early Thursday, Salazar said. That could be due to the nature of the lavish community in which the killings occurred.

"They're multi-million dollar homes," Salazar said. "Very big. Very big lots. And the homes are probably very well constructed. So it's quite possible no one heard anything."

"Naturally, it's not a common area for us to see this type of activity but it just goes to show that crime really knows no boundaries, geographic, socioeconomic or otherwise," he later added. "It could happen anywhere, literally."

Anyone with information on the killings is asked to contact the Bexar County Sheriff's Office at 210-335-6000.
