Coweta Police Say 2 People Are Dead After A Murder-Suicide

Coweta police say two people are dead after a murder-suicide Sunday in a neighborhood near Highway 51 and 111th Street.

Neighbors say this was a quiet family and their kids were always playing outside. 

They say this incident is shocking and tragic because things like this never happen in this neighborhood.

Police say their three kids were coming home from church and were dropped off by their grandfather. They say the kids found their parents dead in their bathroom and texted their Aunt, who police say called 911.

Coweta Police Chief Mike Bell encourages the community to look out for their neighbors.

"We ask that if you know a neighbor who is in need of help go talk to them and if you don't know what do, have them call 988, it's a good number for them to call," said Chief Bell.

Chief Bell says two of the kids are under 10 years old. 

Police say the children will be staying with family members. 

The names of the two people who are dead have not been released.
