Two Prince William County teens ended their lives in a suicide pact, police said Tuesday.
Desiree Patrick and Quirinius Williams were found dead in their Triangle home Monday evening by Patrick's father, Prince William County police said. The 17-year-old Patrick and 18-year-old Williams both died from gunshot wounds in what police described as a suicide pact. Their bodies were found in Patrick's bedroom.
Both were students at Forest Park High School, which was closed Tuesday for Election Day. The school counseling center was open, however, to address the needs of grieving students, officials said. An autodialer also sent out a message to parents Tuesday morning, and a letter is being sent with home with students Wednesday.
