A TODDLER has been found alive in a house with four dead bodies in an apparent murder-suicide on Monday night.
Four family members — two adults and two children — were found dead at their own home while the third child was left uninjured, police said.
State troopers went to the home on Moharimet Drive in the small town of Madbury, New Hampshire, at around 8:21 pm in response to a 911 call, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.
The caller said several people were dead inside the house.
Police found all of the family members with gunshot wounds.
All four were pronounced dead at the scene.
The surviving toddler is now with the family.
The names of the dead family members are expected to be released on Tuesday after all next of kin are notified.
The ages of the children haven’t been revealed.
The chief medical examiner is expected to perform autopsies on the family on Wednesday, the attorney general said.
Police are still looking into the motive for the killings.
“I think investigators still have probably more questions than they have answers,” said Assistant Attorney General Ben Agati.
He continued, “One of the biggest questions they have right now is motive. Why?”
“And I think that’s probably one of the more difficult things that they are trying to grasp, to understand how this came to be and to be able to be more definitive and to understand what the sequence of events was like inside that house.”
Investigators said there’s no known threat to the public.
Madbury is a small town with under 2,000 residents.
It’s located just one town over from the University of New Hampshire.
Footage of the scene obtained by ABC affiliate WMTW showed police going in and out of the house in the residential neighborhood.
