Dr. Robert Hausman, Bexar county medical examiner, said preliminary investigation indicated Bruno Schorn, 60, shot his wife, Wanda, 55, and son, Clyde, then took his own life.

Rifle Found A .22 caliber rifle was found near the Schorn's body. Bullets removed from the skulls of the three victims were .22 caliber. A second rifle was found in the house, which had burned to the ground by the time firemen arrived. The five-room frame structure burned so fiercely that only the tin roof and portions of the flooring remained.

Firemen, called to the scene after neighbors noticed smoke rising from the farm 15 miles northeast of downtown San Antonio found the gate locked so tightly they had to cut through it. The stopper had been pulled from a water tank near the house and it was virtually empty when firemen reached the farm. Officials were at a loss to find a motive. Sheriff's investigator Jack Howard told newsmen he was advised by relatives that the family had been upset by the younger Schorn's prospect of being drafted soon.
