Baltimore County police found two people dead in Parkville Wednesday ? the victims of an apparent double homicide.
Officers were called to 46 Astro Court at 10:08 a.m. after a 6-year-old boy ran to a neighbor?s house and told them, “My parents are dead,” according to neighbors and police.
The two victims, one man and one woman ? whom police have not yet identified ? were found bloodied on separate floors with “obvious physical trauma to the body,” Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey said.
The couple?s two children, who were apparently in the house at the time of the incident, are in safe hands, police and neighbors said.
As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, detectives had not located a murder weapon or determined the cause of death.
If both deaths are ruled homicides, they would be the county?s 16th and 17th homicides of the year. Police have closed 10 of those cases.
