Washington: A mother, father and two children were found dead Tuesday afternoon insideĀ their home outside the nation’s capital, and although police wouldn’t giveĀ details on the cause, they said there was no ongoing threat to the community.
Police spokesman Eddy Azcarate said police were called about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday and asked to check on the welfare of residents in a home on 13300 block of Point Rider Lane. Police declined to provide any identification pending notification of family.
Lucky Caldwell, a spokeswoman from the Fairfax County police, would notĀ discuss whether the case was a murder-suicide, but said that homicide detectivesĀ are investigating and that there is no public safety threat.
Police officials did not immediately know the last time Fairfax County hadĀ four dead from a single cause. In November 2000, four members of a HerndonĀ family died in their family home when a 47-year-old man shot his wife and twoĀ young daughters before killing himself.
