A father, mother and their 12-year-old son were found dead on Thursday inside a home in Andover, Massachusetts, police say.
A father, mother and their 12-year-old son were found dead Thursday inside a home in Andover, Massachusetts, the town's police chief said.
They breached two doors to enter the residence, where they discovered the 56-year-old father, the 55-year-old mother and the preteen with gunshot wounds, he said. Their names were not released, but Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker said the child was a sixth grader at Saint John’s Preparatory School in Danvers.
While the chief said investigators are"trying to figure out the why right now," Tucker urged anyone dealing with depression or other mental health issues to seek help.
