Tragedy struck in the quiet 800 block of Schirmer when four people were found dead in a home earlier yesterday. According to the initial police statement, District 1 officers, prompted by a call from Fire Alarm, discovered two females and two males, each fatally wounded by gunshots, while firearms and suspected narcotics were also found at the crime scene, as first reported by the St. Louis Metro Police Department.
The grim scene, as detailed by officers, unraveled at around 8:30 a.m., where upon entry, emergency services were quickly summoned after the victims were found, honing in on the question of whether the narcotics may play a role in this incident, the police, however, have not yet confirmed their relevance to the case or the identities of those deceased as the investigation by Homicide remains active and ongoing with the hope to shine light on what transpired in those walls.
The police are working diligently to peel back the layers of this case, with the Homicide division conducting thorough investigations to determine the precise circumstances leading to the untimely death of the four individuals, the weight of the task is formidable as they sift through evidence, seek out elusive answers, and strive to provide closure to a community stung by sudden loss.
The SLMPD assures that further information will be released to the public once available, meanwhile, they're urging anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward, helping them to craft a clearer picture of the puzzle before them.
