Five people were found dead this Saturday morning in a Middletown, Maryland home, victims of an apparent murder-suicide. The Frederick County sheriff's office announced that a relative of the deceased had discovered the bodies at about 9 a.m. at the residence on Washington Street and immediately contacted police.
The Frederick News-Post relayed word from the Rev. Kevin Farmer this afternoon that the deceased were all from the same family, three children and two adults. The adults were subsequently identified as Christopher A. Wood and Francis Wood.
Law enforcement sealed off several blocks around the Middletown crime scene while continuing the investigation. The community of Middletown is located about 15 minutes outside of Frederick.
