BRISTOL, TN (WJHL) – Bond has been set at $1 million for a man accused of killing three family members and injuring a child after a shooting that happened over the weekend.
Robert Seth Denton, 19, is accused of killing his mother, step-father and grandmother inside a Bristol, TN home.
Monday morning, the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office released the name of the victims.
Denton’s mother, 39-year-old Toshya Millhorn, step-father 36-year-old James Millhorn and grandmother 57-year-old Lena Rose were all fatally wounded at a home located in the 600 block of Henson Road around 5:45 p.m.
Denton faces three counts of first-degree murder, aggravated assault and felony reckless endangerment charges.
When officers responded to the scene Saturday evening, Toshya Millhorn and Lena Rose were found dead on the scene. James Millhorn died later at Johnson City Medical Center.

Sheriff Wayne Anderson revealed more details in a press conference Monday morning.
Sheriff Anderson said officers talked to Curtis Rose, Denton’s grandfather, who told them his grandson was responsible for the shootings. Rose told deputies, he was doing some work next to the home when he was approached by his grandson who told him the needed to call 911. Rose told investigators he went inside the home and found the victims and took the children to another room.
Rose told investigators, he then grabbed a pistol, ran out the home and spotted his grandson at the end of the driveway – as he was about to leave the property.
