911 dispatch of Andover, Massachusetts murder-suicide revealed a voice yelled, "Kill me now"
Andrew Robinson, 56, fatally shot his wife Linda, 55, and 12-year-old son Sebastian before killing himself inside their $2 million Andover, Massachusetts home on Feb. 9, 2023, investigators said.
Emergency dispatchers heard "things smashing" and a "male screaming in the background" of a 911 call from inside a Massachusetts home where there was a murder-suicide, according to 911 dispatch recordings reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Andrew Robinson, 56, his wife Linda, 55, and 12-year-old son Sebastian were found dead with gunshot wounds inside their $2 million Andover home early Thursday morning, and Andrew's was self-inflicted, the Essex County District Attorney's Office said.
Officers who responded to the 3:21 a.m. 911 call couldn't get into the home and had to break in.
"We're not getting any entrance to the door. It seems pretty quiet ... we tried a couple times but no answer," an officer was heard on the recording telling dispatch.

"Based on the 911 call, we're making every effort to get into the house. It seems there was an altercation going on," an officer said about two minutes later.
Officers can be heard calling for a medic after spotting "someone on the floor in the back."

Dispatch warned officers on scene that "one of the statements was, ‘Kill me now,’ so be careful."
"It looks like it's going to be a double. Another male ... gunshot wound to the head," an officer said in the recording.

Medics were called for three victims at the end of the 30-minute recording.
"Obviously, we know the how; we’re trying to figure out the why right now, so we’re going to need some time to figure that out," Andover Police Chief Patrick Keefe said during a press conference at the scene.
Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker said there's no threat to the public; the incident was "contained" in the home.
The street was blocked off Thursday morning as investigators from the DA's office, state police and Andover police put the pieces together to get a clearer picture of what happened overnight.

She said she didn't hear anything during the night and only knew of the Robinson family through a friend who lives near them, but added that "they really kept to themselves from what we've heard."
Classes were canceled at Sebastian's school St. John's Prep, a Catholic all-boys' school for grades 6 through 12 in Danvers, Massachusetts that charges $31,000 per year in tuition.
Head of School Dr. Ed Hardiman said the "close-knit" community is "heartbroken" after hearing about Sebastian's death, and the school planned a prayer vigil.

"Sebastian was well known in our middle school for his creativity, his passion for learning and his presence as a kind and gentle soul," Hardiman said in a statement.
"In the classroom, he was eager to ask why and how, and for more depth about the subject matter. He was also an enthusiastic participant in our co-curricular programming, especially our string orchestra and service projects.
"Understandably, this news comes as a profound and devastating shock to the St. John’s Prep community. As a school with a values-rich and faith-based mission, in times of trouble and grief we turn to our faith and to prayer as we seek to console and support each other and all those impacted by this tragic situation."
Hardiman ended his statement by sending his condolences and prayers to all those impacted by the situation, including the first responders.
