Fort Collins police are investigating the deaths of two individuals found in a Fort Collins home Monday as a possible murder-suicide.
Police responded to the home in the 2900 block of Middlesborough Court, which is east of Lemay Avenue and south of Drake Road, Monday afternoon after a caller notified police that they thought someone they knew “was being held against her will be her husband” at the home, police said in a Tuesday morning news release.
Police say they surrounded the home but weren’t able to make contact with anyone inside and couldn’t hear “any signs of distress.” Fort Collins Police SWAT also responded, given the possibility that it was a hostage situation.
While detectives worked to draft a warrant because officers determined they couldn’t enter the home without one, police and Poudre Fire Authority prepared to enter the home, police said in the news release.
