COLUMBUS, Ohio ( WCMH ) — Two were found dead in a suspected murder-suicide when Columbus police responded to reports of a neighbor’s children unable to get inside their apartment.
At around 5:33 p.m., officers were called to the 2600 block of Lauffer Ravines Drive in the Northern Woods neighborhood for a well-being check. When they arrived at the scene, Columbus police reported finding two children, ages 6 and 8, who said they’d been unable to get into their apartment since the older two were dropped off by their school bus.
With help from a maintenance person, officers were able to get into the apartment. Once inside, they found a man and woman, both in their 30s, dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
