Do you have any idea as to date? Times Archive will almost certainly have a report. The Cornishman may have reported it.

Was it the 1886 Hawke murders and suicide? Victims were Mr and Mrs Uren and Mrs Gerrard. Doesn t quite tie in with your description, though.

Interesting date - the Colt 45 Peacemaker was brought into the firing line in 1886.
