Police are investigating an apparent murder-suicide after two women were found dead inside a north Fort Worth apartment Wednesday night, officials said.<\/p>\n
Officers were dispatched to a welfare check at an apartment complex in the 2200 block of Whistler Creek Drive about 8:50 p.m. They were told a family member had been trying to get in touch with one of the residents, but no one answered the phone or door, police said in a news release.<\/p>\n
The relative contacted police, and a responding officer saw someone through a window who appeared to be dead, the release states. Officers then forced entry into the apartment to check on the well-being of those inside.<\/p>\n
Police found the bodies of two adult women, according to the release. The women were related to each other, and a gun was found near the younger one.<\/p>\n
The Homicide Unit is investigating the incident. Preliminary information indicates it was a murder-suicide, but homicide detectives will make the final determination, police said.<\/p>\n
“This is believed to be an isolated incident and there is no immediate danger to the public,” the release states.<\/p>\n
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office<\/a> will publicly identify the two women and determine their cause and manner of death.<\/p>\n In a separate incident on Wednesday morning, three people were found dead inside a Flower Mound home<\/a> during a welfare check, authorities have said.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 More breaking news:<\/p>\n
