据警方称,周六在俄亥俄州哥伦布市的家中发现了三名女性的尸体。
官员们说,下午4点前不久,警方接到一个人的报告,他发现他们的朋友在一所房子里处于医疗困境。
“在我们发布任何信息之前,我们正在通过死亡方式来确定到底发生了什么,”哥伦布警方的公共信息官詹姆斯·富卡警官说。
福卡说,一到家,救援人员就发现里面有三名女性受害者,所有人都被宣布当场死亡。
“当有人失去生命时,这是很不幸的,尤其是在一年中的这个假期,”Fuqua说。“不幸的是,所有这些受害者的家人都很难接受这些家庭成员将不再出现在他们的生活中。”
官员们说,在现场没有发现毒品,官员们认为这是一起积极的凶杀调查,正在努力确认死亡方式。
目前没有人被拘留,打电话报警的人也不是嫌疑人。
富卡称之为“非常复杂的场景”
“这将需要一点时间来确保我们非常小心,一丝不苟地检查现场,所以我们不会错过任何关键的证据,因为不幸的是,在一次事件中有这么多受害者是非常不寻常的,”他补充说。
3 women found dead inside of Ohio home, homicide detectives investigating
Three women were found dead inside a Columbus, Ohio, home on Saturday, according to police.
Shortly before 4 p.m., officers received a report from a person who found their friends in medical distress inside a home, officials said.
"We are working through the manner of death to determine what actually happened before we release any of that information," said Sgt. James Fuqua, public information officer for Columbus Police.
Once at the home, responders found three female victims inside and all were pronounced dead at the scene, Fuqua said.
"It's unfortunate when someone loses their life, but particularly this time of year during the holidays," Fuqua said. "It's going to be very difficult for all of these victim's families to come to the grips that, unfortunately, these family members will no longer be in their lives."
No drugs were found at the scene and officials are considering it an active homicide investigation and are working to confirm the manner of death, officials said.
No one is in custody at this time, and the person who called in the incident is not a suspect.
Fuqua called it a "very complex scene."
"It's going to take a little bit longer to make sure that we're very careful and going through the scene meticulously, so we do not miss any key piece of evidence because unfortunately, it's very unusual to have so many victims in one incident," he added.
