Bodycam footage shows moment cops heard Jimmie Johnson's mother-in-law Terry ... trends now
Shocking new bodycam footage shows the moment that responding officers heard the final gunshot in the horrific murder suicide that claimed the lives of NASCAR great Jimmie Johnson's in-laws.
The bodies of Jack Janway, 69; his wife Terry Janway, 68; and their grandson Dalton Janway, 11, were discovered in late June in Muskogee, Oklahoma, about 50 miles southeast of Tulsa.
Muskogee police spokesperson Lynn Hamlin said Terry Janway shot and killed her husband and grandson before shooting herself. Terry and Jack Janway are Johnson's wife, Chandra's, parents. Dalton was her nephew.
Police responded to the home after a woman called 911 to report a disturbance with a gun before hanging up, Hamlin said.
The new video shows police officers at the scene commenting that they could see Jack Janway's body in the living room of the home under a blanket. When they move to enter the home, after announcing themselves as police officers, a single gunshot can be heard.

Johnson withdrew from a NASCAR event in Chicago shortly after the incident. Neither the driver nor his wife have made a public statement following the shooting.
'We are saddened by the tragic deaths of members of Chandra Johnson's family,' NASCAR said in a statement.
'The entire NASCAR family extends its deepest support and condolences during this difficult time to Chandra, Jimmie and the entire Johnson & Janway families.'
In the 911 call, a woman, believed to be Terry Janway, said that she needed the police because there was someone in her home with a gun, reports Fox8. Terry relays the address to the dispatcher and when asked if she knew who the person with the gun was, she hung up.
At the time of the shooting, police were quick to confirm that the incident had been a murder suicide and that there was no further threat to the community.
Muskogee Mayor Marlon Coleman said that he was knew the Janway family and that he had been a patient at Jack Janway's chiropractor practice.
'It was traumatizing to find out that a long-standing family who had made so many contributions to our community was involved in this type of incident. It was even more bone-chilling to find out there was a child involved,' Coleman said.
'Just knowing that it was him and his family took a different toll on me.'
Jack ran a leading chiropractor practice in Muskogee, however the bankruptcy filing was not related to the business and the couple were classified as two individual debtors

Last month, DailyMail.com revealed that the Janway family once fell $475,000 into debt.
Jack and Terry Janway owed almost $175,000 on 15 credit cards as they battled in vain to keep their heads above water, but had a combined average monthly income of just $3,993 to pay them off.
Five years after their daughter Chandra wed racecar driver Johnson – now worth a reported $160million – the couple applied for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com.
DailyMail.com also revealed that Terry snapped after secretly suffering depression over the son she lost nine years ago in a freak skydiving accident.
Jack ran a leading chiropractor practice in Muskogee, however the filing was not related to the business and the couple were classified as two individual debtors.
According to their voluntary petition drawn up in May 2009, they had amassed $174,478 in credit card debt while juggling a variety of companies to stay afloat.
This included $22,629 owed to Bank of America, $22,931 on one Chase card and $16,060 on another, $19,086 to Choice Visa, $17,800 to MBNA, $11,881 to HSBC and $9,548 on one Citi card with $11,226 on another.
Their total assets were logged at $304,654, including 'real property' of $248,787 – referring to their home at the time which was different to the murder scene, a tract of land and Jack's business office.
Officers received a 911 call from a woman believed to be Terry reporting a disturbance at her home and that a gun was involved. They then arrived to find the couple and their grandson dead from gunshot wounds
The rest was made up of $55,867 personal property, which included just $7.04 in a Bank of America savings account, $750 in two Bank of America checking accounts, $3,300 in furniture and household goods – and $775 listed as 'guns and camera.'
Three vehicles, including a two-year-old Jeep Cherokee worth $20,000, helped push up the total, along with a $13,000 Dutchman travel trailer.
However total liabilities were logged as $475,477, with a secured claim of $265,565 referring to their home and land, $35,433 for 'other debts owed to government units' and the credit card debts making up the rest.
The Janways' bankruptcy was discharged in February 2010, but the final decree was not lodged until October 2011.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is regarded as a second chance for people to regain their finances by having credit card debt and unsecured loans discharged by the court.
Muskogee police have been quoted as saying investigating officers may never know why, years later, Terry killed her husband and one of her grandsons.
Terry's descent into depression is believed to have started after the death of her 27-year-old Jordan Janway who was killed in a skydiving accident in San Diego in 2004
However, DailyMail.com was told exclusively by a nephew of 47-year-old racecar legend Johnson that she never got over losing son Jordan, 27, in a freak skydiving accident in San Diego, California, in 2004.
High school student Seth Robison – who is also Terry's grandson and victim Dalton's beloved half-brother – revealed : 'My grandmother, she was a very sweet lady. If you met her she was the nicest person you ever met in your life.
'And I guess unknown to me, and quite a lot of other people, she had been struggling with depression and stuff we didn't know about until it was too late.
'About nine years ago my grandparents lost their son, my uncle in a skydiving accident, and I now believe that's what started her descent into depression.'
Speaking with remarkable composure, the 16-year-old added: 'I believe that she had never intended to harm the other two.
