LYNN, Mass. — Four family members were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide Tuesday afternoon in Massachusetts.
The Essex County District Attorney’s office told WFXT that just before 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Lynn Police Department responded to a call of possible shots fired. Officers who arrived at the house, found two men, ages 66 and 34, both dead from gunshot wounds.
In a statement from the DA’s office obtained by WFXT, investigators believed that the suspect was a 31-year-old woman. She was located just before 4:30 p.m. in her car in a parking lot. She was deceased and had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Investigators later found another man deceased in a car, the DA’s office said in the statement obtained by WFXT.
The DA’s office said that investigators learned that all four people were related.
The names of the victims and suspect are not being released yet due to next-of-kin notification, according to WFXT. Investigators have also not yet released the relationships between the four or any information about a possible motive. The investigation is ongoing.
