Family massacre shakes small town in apparent murder-suicide: 'Four tragedies all at once'

Two parents and their two teen children were shot and killed in what Pennsylvania officials are saying is an apparent murder-suicide.

While the investigation is still in the preliminary stages, Beaver County District Attorney Nate Bible called the incident a triple murder-suicide.

The District Attorney’s Office and the North Sewickley Township Police reported to Fox News Digital that emergency personnel were called to North Sewickley, a suburb of Pittsburgh, on Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. in response to reports of gunshots. It was later revealed that the 911 call originated from inside the residence.

Upon their arrival, law enforcement discovered the deceased bodies of the parents, Clifford, 51, and Michelle Hunt, 48, as well as their two teenage sons, 18-year-old Clifford Jr. and his 16-year-old brother, in critical condition. The teenagers, both with gunshot wounds to their heads, were taken to a hospital in Pittsburgh but unfortunately passed away the following day.

In a statement, it was mentioned, “Cody’s classmates and friends described him as compassionate and always willing to assist others. He will be greatly missed by everyone at Riverside.”

Elsewhere, the community pooled their efforts to honor the family by launching a GoFundMe aimed at covering the cost of four funerals.

“The Unthinkable has happened to all who knew and loved them and this tragedy has devastated the community,” a statement from Autumn Stang, the organizer of the GoFundMe, said. “This family of 4 from North Sewickley lost their lives in a tragedy that we are all still struggling to wrap our heads around.”

In a post following the shooting, the North Sewickley Police Department said it was “a contained incident” and that there was no threat to the public.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Riverside Beaver County School District and the Air Heritage Aviation Museum for comment.
