A neighborhood in Massachusetts is on high alert after police say three elderly people were killed inside a home Sunday morning.
NEWTON, Mass. — The Nonantum neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts, is on high alert after police say three elderly people were killed inside a home Sunday morning. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said there is evidence of forced entry at the home and the victims suffered stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
The names of the three victims have not been released. Ryan said two of the victims were a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this weekend. Early Sunday morning there was an attempted break-in at a home about a half mile from the murder scene. It is not known if the two incidents are related.
Residents of the Nonantum and Newtonville area are asked to check their home security video for anything unusual. There will be an increased police presence in the neighborhood likely until someone is caught. According to those in the tight-knit community, the victims were deeply connected to the local church and their absence at Sunday's mass worried neighbors.
