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 I-Team sources, the victims are a young child and a woman. 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.
"An isolated incident"
