Muskogee police are investigating a possible murder-suicide after three people were found dead inside a home.
According to police, it all started as a disturbance call that came in just after 9pm on Monday night.
Police say a woman called 911 and reported someone with a gun, then hung up.
Officers say when they arrived at the scene they found someone lying in the hallway inside the home. Shortly after, they heard another shot from further inside the house.
According to police, officers dragged the person lying in the hallway outside and began ordering anyone else inside to come out. No one answered or came out, so officers began searching the home and say that’s when they found two more people dead.
Police say this is still an active investigation and say it is likely a murder-suicide.
“That’s what they’re still investigating, but there doesn’t appear to be any threat to the community, so it seems very likely that this is a murder-suicide,” said Muskogee Police Officer Lynn Hamlin.
Officers have not yet identified any of the three people who were found dead.
