A family of eight, including five children, has been found
shot dead in their home in Enoch City, Utah, the United States.
According to the police, the discovery followed a call to
perform a “welfare check” in the home.
Police in the city conduct a welfare check when neighbours
raise concerns or haven’t seen fellow residents for an unusual time.
In a statement on Wednesday, police said the shooting was not a threat, adding that the investigation was ongoing.
“At this time, we do
not believe there is a threat to the public or that there are any suspects at
large,” the statement reads.
Rob Dotson, the city manager, added that it would likely
take days or longer before they could reach any conclusions about what had
taken place inside the home.
“We don’t know why this happened, and we’re not going to
guess,” Dotson said.
“This community is
feeling remorse, feeling pain. There are friends and neighbors and family
members who are hurting because of this incident.”
Spencer Cox, Utah’s governor, expressed sadness in a tweet
and offered his condolences following the horrific announcement.
“Our hearts go out to all those affected by this senseless
violence. Please keep the community of Enoch in your prayers,” he tweeted.
