Two young children and two adults were fatally wounded Thursday night in what appears to have been a murder-suicide inside a Manassas Park, Virginia, home, police said.
A homeowner in the 9400 block of Lanae Lane asked police to do a welfare check on his tenants, who lived in a downstairs apartment, Manassas Park police said in a Friday news release.
Police arrived at the home just before 11 p.m. and found four people downstairs who had apparently been shot dead, among them a 2-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl.
