In Henrico County, Virginia, the Richmond Times Dispatch reports:

• A father, mother and son found shot to death in their burning Henrico County home last week were scheduled hours later to undergo eviction proceedings in district court. The state medical examiner's office said [...] that Virginia A. and Robert L. Ware and their adult son, Ashton, each died Friday of a single gunshot wound inside their home [...]. A search warrant filed in Henrico Circuit Court indicates that investigators are searching for evidence of murder and arson in the case, although the medical examiner's office said yesterday that Virginia Ware, 44, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

• [C]ourt documents show the Wares were scheduled to be in court Friday at 10 a.m. to answer to eviction proceedings being brought by Deutsche Bank National Trust. The Ware family property [...] was sold at a foreclosure auction Dec. 2 because of defaulting on a $98,000 loan. Court records show that the home sold for $102,000. A notice to vacate the property within five days was posted on the front door of the family's home New Year's Eve by a Henrico sheriff's deputy.
