Police in Manchester are investigating the suspicious deaths of a man and a woman found inside a home on Wheelock Street, after officers responding to a reported domestic dispute Tuesday morning discovered an 8-year-old child alive but injured. The child was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition, according to officials.
Officers were called to the home Tuesday morning on a report of a domestic dispute, according to WMUR. When they arrived, they found two adults deceased and the child suffering what is believed to be a non-life-threatening injury, as reported by Boston 25 News. NBC Boston reported that police and firefighters were present outside the home as the investigation unfolded.
Child Hospitalized, Listed In Stable Condition
The injured child was rushed to a hospital and is in stable condition, per WHDH. That station's account matches the broader picture described across local coverage: a domestic dispute call that led officers to a scene with two adults dead and a child hurt but alive.
WMUR reported a large police presence at the two-family home during the investigation. Officers blocked off the home with police tape, and police warned of road closures in the area, advising drivers to expect delays.
Attorney General’s Office Joins Investigation
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office said it is investigating the suspicious deaths of an adult male and female in Manchester, according to the same Boston 25 News report. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under active investigation, the outlet added, and no identities have been released for either of the two adults found dead.
Despite the scale of the response, Manchester police confirmed there was no indication that the public was in danger. The department has not released further details about what led to the deaths, and the relationship between the adults and the child has not been disclosed.
This remains a developing story, and Hoodline will update as Manchester police, the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, or other officials release additional information.
