Five people, including a woman and three children, were found dead in a park near Lavtonsville, Maryland, between Washington and Baltimore on Thanksgiving night. According to a statement of the police, they died in an apparent murder-suicide.

"It looks like it is a domestic-related homicide-suicide," Montgomery County Police representative Porsha Jones said, according to the Associated Press.

Montgomery County Police and Maryland-National Capital Park police were called to the park around 9:20 p.m., according to Montgomery County police. Four victims, a woman and three children were found together at the entrance of the park.

Police would not reveal the ages of the children, two boys and a girl, but according to their sayings, they had over three years. They also do not know whether the victims were related or not. This issue will be revealed by the bodies’ autopsy undertaken at the State Medical Examiner’s office.

On searching the area, police discovered the body of a man who, apparently, had died of a self-afflicted gunshot wound, police stated. They also found the gun, which led to the man’s death.

Authorities blocked off the roads in the tiny community of Unity, about 35 miles west of Baltimore.

Police in Maryland are currently investigating the case.
