Their front door was unlocked when they were found gunned down on the first floor of their sprawling estate, investigators said, noting the family dog was inside the house. Their Lexus SUV was recovered about 25 miles away on Boston's North End, a notorious hotbed of organized crime activity.

Massachusetts State Sen. Barry Finegold said, "I just can't believe it. John was a really nice guy. Someone ... my parents actually bought their first house from Jack and ... he was well liked in the community. Just total shock right now."

Police Wednesday night said they had not identified any suspects and have yet to establish a motive in the killings.
