Authorities said Vu walked into his home on Jaguar Drive Saturday at 2:30 a.m. where an argument took place between him and his wife.

Police say Vu then shot his wife  and 14-year-old son.  They say he also turned the gun on his 17-year-old daughter. 

According to police, another 23-year-old son was able to tackle and restrain his father until police arrived and took the man into custody.

A fall festival that was supposed to take place Saturday night at Columbia High School was postponed due to the incident. The principal of the school posted on a Facebook page that grief counselors will be at the school for students when the doors open Monday.

A candlelight vigil in honor of the students is scheduled for 8 p.m. Monday at Tiger Stadium.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is in charge of the murder investigation.
