A father, mother, and their two boys were found shot to death inside their family home in New York early Saturday morning, local police said.
Clarkstown Police sent officers to a New City home on Clydesdale Court shortly after midnight to perform a welfare check, the department said in a press release. New City is located in Rockland County, approximately 30 miles north of New York City.
The responding cops entered the home around 12:20 a.m. and found all four people dead from apparent gunshot wounds. According to police, the father “appears to have a self inflicted gunshot wound.”
The names of the family members was being withheld while authorities worked to notify next of kin. Officials said the boys were ages 10 and 12.
A briefing on the case is expected later in the weekend; it’s timing has not been determined.
The investigation is ongoing.
