3 Kids Rescued After Parents Die in Apparent Murder-Suicide, Philadelphia Police Say

Three children were also found inside the home unharmed.

The mother and father of three children were found dead inside a West Philadelphia home following an apparent murder-suicide, investigators said.

Police arrived at the house, located on the 6200 block of Webster Street, around 10:30 p.m. Saturday to reports of gunshots coming from the second floor.

Officers entered the property from the roof of a neighbor's porch and rescued the three children, according to police.

Two adults, a 30-year-old woman and 28-year-old man, were found dead at the scene. They were identified as the parents of the kids, but police have not released their names.

The children - ages 3, 4 and 11 years old - were taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to be evaluated.
