2 dead in Warren, police suspect murder-suicide
(CBS DETROIT) — A woman and her 26-year-old son are dead in what police are calling an apparent murder-suicide in Warren.
Authorities say it happened Sunday morning at a house on the 13000 block of Geoffrey Drive. Officers were called to that area around 8:30 a.m. after a 33-year-old man reported his mother had pointed a gun at him. The man was able to run to a neighbors house and call 911 after a brief struggle with his mother.
Police say officers tried to make contact with the mother shortly after getting to the area, but she would not respond. Moments later, officers heard multiple gunshots from inside the home.
When officers got into the home, they say it appeared the mother had shot her adult son, 26, and then herself. Both were pronounced dead.
According to police, the mother had a history of mental health issues and the 26-year-old had special needs.
Investigators are looking into what led up to the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Warren police at 586-574-4741.
