After officers responded to a report, police said that a father and his 8-year-old boy were dead in a murder-suicide inside a residence in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, US, on Friday.

Investigators claim that just after 6 p.m. on Thursday, officers were called to a residence in the Lower Makefield community around the 500 block of Heritage Oak Drive to conduct a welfare check.

The cops knocked on the door but got no response, so they peered through the glass and saw a youngster lying motionless on the living room floor.

According to Lower Makefield Police Chief Kenneth Coluzzi, when the officers knocked on the door to the house, they found the 8-year-old child on the floor and his 47-year-old father sitting on the couch.

According to NBC10, Chief Coluzzi also disclosed that both victims died from gunshot wounds and that the cause of death was a murder-suicide.

At this time, it's obvious that it was a murder-suicide from what investigators could gather from the crime scene, according to Chief Coluzzi. "The man was shot by a father. shot at his youngster.

The victims' identities were withheld until their families were notified, the police chief said, although it was thought that nobody else was at the house when the shooting took place and officers seized a firearm.

To find out if there were any domestic problems inside the family that may have contributed to Thursday's shooting, they are also interrogating the boy's mother.

The youngster attended a school in the Pennsbury School District, according to Coluzzi. "They'll provide his buddies grief counselling and other services as needed. His peers," the chief remarked.

According to Chief Coluzzi, the police are also chatting with adjacent residents who are already suffering with the recent flooding that destroyed homes in Lower Makefield, claimed the lives of five people, and left two children missing.

That's bad news. When something occurs when a child is involved, it is always difficult, he added. And with the floods, the children who got lost in Upper Makefield, the other fatalities, and the property destruction, we've just had a lot of misery in Upper Makefield and Lower Makefield. We've barely recovered from one, and now we're coping with another catastrophe.

The event comes after several nationwide mass shootings that are frequently brought on by interpersonal tensions.
