A juvenile brother and sister were found dead in their Oklahoma home Sunday afternoon, and police say it appears to be a case of murder-suicide.
Family members called Broken Arrow police shortly before 2 p.m., after finding the boy dead, KOKI reported.
“Family members had discovered a juvenile male that was deceased, while officers were in-route we got a call that they had located a second deceased juvenile, it was a juvenile female, inside the resident as well,” said Broken Arrow Police Captain Josh McCoy.
Police did not say how the children died or provide names or ages. The parents were not home when it happened, they said.
“It’s extremely early, we’ve been out here a few hours, obviously giving respect and time to the family involved in this incident, but we’ll have more information more likely tomorrow,” McCoy said.
Investigators believe the boy killed his sister and then himself, according to KOTV.
Broken Arrow Public Schools told KOTV they are waiting for police to confirm the names of the victims and that they are providing counselors if the children were students in the district.
