Three people were found dead from gunshot wounds inside a $2 million home in Andover, Massachusetts, early Thursday, as authorities continue to disclose more details.

The Andover Police Department received a 911 call around 3 a.m. Officers responded to the address at 48 Porter Road, where three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds, Essex District Attorney Paul F. Tucker told reporters at the scene. The three victims were a 56-year-old father, a 55-year-old mother and their 12-year-old son, Andover Police Chief Patrick Keefe added. Police said the 911 call came from inside the home and officers had to breach two doors to get inside.

"I want to make sure that the people also know that right now there is no danger to anyone in the public," Tucker said. "We believe this is a scene that’s contained at 48 Porter Road."

This sounds personal.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Yes, it does.

And hits too close to home, because those are almost the exact ages of my tiny family.

Is the gun still at large?

[Red Badger]

Double murder suicide.

But we don’t know which one is the murderer.....................

What an odd headline. I don’t want anyone to get shot no matter how expensive their house is.

[gundog]

Scene contained, two doors had to be breached....murder/suicide?

[adorno]

three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds

Which came first, the death or the suffering? Once they were dead, they were no longer suffering from the gunshots.

I might be a bit too picky, but, I like seeing things logically and people should write that way.

In any case, if there is no danger to the public anymore, the police are indicating that it was a murder-suicide case.

and do you have a $2M home?

[dfwgator]

In before, were they vaxxed?

[alternatives?]

I agree. It is like they have this idea that things are great if you live in a $2M home.

That's just newspeak for "See, it wasn't in a ghetto. So don't go thinking it was a shooting by black folks".

If this was “Clue” my guess would be the son with a firearm in the Master bedroom.

“...where three people were found deceased and suffering from gunshot wounds, Essex District Attorney Paul F. Tucker told reporters at the scene. .....”

wow...today’s journalism at its finest...!! LOL, I had the same thoughts...they are dead but still suffering from gunshot wounds...and I question the use of the word “wounds” as well....no, you are not being picky...just very observant....

[proxy_user]

That’s probably just about the average price for a normal dwelling in Andover.

[Psalm 73]

"But we don’t know which one is the murderer....."

It would be the one with powder residue on their hand.

Or they could just indict the gun....

[Honorary Serb]

Ach, du lieber Himmel!!!!

[the OlLine Rebel]

No.

Your point?

I was just feeling for them being the same kind of family. (Of course, they could have older kids.)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Is that what you hear, or what you surmise?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Maybe the vaxes made the killer go kill-crazy.

[Red Badger]

I could be wrong, but it seems to be the only logical scenario, since the house was locked and the police had “to breach two doors to get inside.”
