Four people have been found dead in a home in Florida after a wounded victim ran to a neighbour to call for help.
The bodies were discovered in a residence in east Orange County in Orlando early on Friday.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OSCO) responded to the scene after getting a 911 call concerning a woman who had been shot on Myers Drive at around 4am, according to Fox35.
“Early this morning, deputies responded to a home on Myers Drive and found four people dead inside after one woman who was shot there went to a neighbour’s home for help. Detectives believe everyone is accounted for and there is no danger to the community,” the office tweeted.
Footage from above the home showed several police vehicles in a cul-de-sac.
The victims have not yet been identified.
“It’s very early in the investigation, and we don’t know whether or how the people inside the home who were shot are related,” the Sheriff’s office said.
The injured woman who ran for help was later taken to an area hospital. Her condition remains unknown.
