Forth Collins police said that they are investigating a case that they believe to be a murder-suicide after they discovered dead bodies on Saturday. 

According to the police, the dead bodies found were of a man and two children. The bodies were found inside a home in southeast Fort Collins.

Police said that a man called 911 around 10:25 AM and told the operator that three people were dead inside a home located in the 3500 block of Stratton Drive. 

As soon as the police got the call, the responding patrol officers went to the home and found that no one from inside was responding to them. 

Fort Collins Police Services Deputy Chief Greg Yeager shared a video on Saturday afternoon in which he said the SWAT officers rushed into the home “in order to assist anyone who may be inside.”

When the SWAT team entered the home, the police officers found the dead bodies of an adult man and two children. As per the information gathered by the police, they claim that the people found dead were related to one another. 

The police also said that the case is a possible murder-suicide due to the evidence and information gathered from the incident spot. 

According to the police, the man who called 911 to address them about the dead bodies was the same adult man found dead in the home alongside two children. 

Larimer County Coroner’s Office will release the death report of the people, which will also mention the cause of their death. Larimer will also share the names of the people found dead after their identities are confirmed. 

Yeager said in a statement, “This is a tragic incident that affects those involved as well as the larger community.”

Yeager added, “We will continue this investigation to determine exactly what happened, and information will be released as it becomes available.”

A LETA 911 tweet was shared in which they requested for the residents to stay inside their homes due to the police’s investigation in the nearby areas. 

Stratton Drive from Mansfield Drive to Kingston Drive was included in the impacted areas south of Boltz Middle School.

Then, LETA 911 shared another post three hours later in which they said that the investigation was resolved. The police have encouraged anyone having insights into the Fort Collins murder-suicide case to let them know.
