LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Police in Little Rock say a man killed two children and then himself in what authorities believe is a murder-suicide.
Little Rock Police Department Chief Kenton Buckner told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Sunday that officers were called to a house in west Little Rock about 11:20 a.m. in connection with a report about a deceased child. Buckner says investigators later learned that two children were dead, along with a man who is believed to have killed them.
Authorities say the children were aged 4 and 5 years old but their names were not immediately released. Buckner says the man appeared to be the children’s father, though he did not know if he was the biological father.
Officials indicated that the incident may involve domestic violence. Police say the investigation is ongoing.
