BRUCE JUNCTION, Carova -- Police in central Carova are struggling to find a motive in a gruesome murder-suicide that left four people dead.
The Quarry-Wan County Sheriff's Office says it is investigating the crime scene at a home in a rural area about 60 miles east of Carova City.
Officers discovered the four bodies upon conducting a welfare check, after receiving a call from a concerned neighbor.
The names of the deceased have not been released, but police say all four died from gun shot wounds. They believe the suspect was a male in aged 50-60 years old, but have released little additional information.
Neighbors - who did not want to reveal their names - told local news station WBJC-TV the owner of the home is a single divorced man in his 50's, and that his ex-wife and children visit the property regularly.
Quarry-Wan County Sheriff Curt Asgiff would not comment on the owner's identity, and told local media a motive has yet to be established.
The bodies will be taken in for autopsies in Carova City, where the closest medical examiner's office is located.
Quarry-Wan County lies directly east of the Carlingford-Carova City metropolitan area, along the south-central coast of Carova. The largest city in the mostly rural county is Bruce Junction, population 31,000.
