Kennett Township police are investigating the shooting deaths of two people Saturday. According to an email from township Police Chief Matthew Gordon, "Police are presently investigating this as a possible murder-suicide but are still reviewing home security cameras as well as awaiting an autopsy and toxicology reports."
According to the press release, police, Longwood Fire Co., and EMS personnel were dispatched to the 1000 block of Kaolin Road at 5:45 p.m.on Aug. 6 for a report of shots fired and two people down. Responders found an 87-year-old man and a 65-year-old woman dead on the residence's first floor. Both had suffered gunshot wounds. A sidearm was found on the scene, but no other people were there.
The man had been treated for dementia for about a year, and the woman was his home healthcare worker.
