Young child and woman dead after incident in North Andover, Massachusetts home, I-Team sources say
NORTH ANDOVER - Two people are dead following "an incident" at a home on Turnpike Street in North Andover on Monday, the Essex County District Attorney said.
According to WBZ-TV I-Team sources, the victims are a young child and a woman. Massachusetts State Police have obtained a search warrant for the home, I-Team sources said.
One person was pronounced dead at the home. The other was taken to the hospital with serious injuries and later died.
"Isolated incident"
"This is currently considered to be an isolated incident and authorities do not believe there is a wider threat to the public at this time," Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker said in a statement Monday.
Tucker's office has not released any information about the victims or what happened to them.
Dozens of police cars and firefighters responded to the home Monday evening. Some neighbors also came to the scene concerned about what happened.
"It's scary," said neighbor Katrina MacLean. "It's scary to know that in a town like North Andover, it just kind of goes to show you it doesn't really matter where you live. Stuff like this could happen anywhere."
"It's kind of disturbing you know what, it's a peaceful community," said neighbor Tom Anthony. "We have Merrimack College up the street, we have Andover to the other side of us. But these things are happening it's just a demonstration of where society is going."
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
