Two teenagers are dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide, Broken Arrow Police said.
According to BAPD, a 17-year-old male and his 14-year-old sister were found dead inside their home near West Florence Street and South Aspen Avenue on Sunday.
Police said the family came home to find the teenage boy dead and while officers were on the way, the family found the teenage girl dead. Investigators believe the boy killed the girl before killing himself but said they haven’t found any weapons and are working to figure out what happened.
The names of the victims have not been released at this time but police have confirmed that they were students at Broken Arrow Public Schools.
There haven’t been any other issues at this family’s home before, police said.
Neighbors said they would see the siblings outside playing basketball and riding the school bus. They said they were shocked to hear about what happened.
“It’s something that none of us can really fathom or understand. It’s going to be difficult for everybody who is involved and who cares, and all their friends and family. It’s hard to process,” said Deacon Robert Owens, a neighbor.
