Eight people, including five children, were found dead from gunshot wounds in a southern Utah home Wednesday, according to authorities who did not provide more details or a potential motive for the killings.
The three adults and five children were all found dead with gunshot wounds after officers with the Enoch Police Department visited a home on Albert Drive during a welfare check, authorities said.
“At this time, we do not believe there is a threat to the public or that there are any suspects at large,” Enoch police said in a press release.
“Many of us have served with them in church, in the community and gone to school with these individuals,” Dotson said in a video statement Wednesday night.
“This community at this time is hurting. They’re feeling loss, they’re feeling pain and they have a lot of questions,” Dotson added, noting that officials planned on releasing more information as it becomes available and the police investigation progresses
