4 children found unharmed inside home of apparent murder-suicide in Tamarac, police say

South Florida deputies responded to a 911 call early Thursday morning and discovered two bodies along with four children inside a home in Tamarac, according to authorities.

The children were found unharmed but a man and woman were pronounced dead on scene at a residence on the 5800 block of Hampton Hills Boulevard, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. Detectives believe that one adult killed the other before turning the gun on themselves, calling it an “apparent murder-suicide.”

The 911 call came in at 2:46 a.m., BSO said in an email.

Police didn’t immediately release additional details.

This is a breaking story, and will be updated as more information becomes available.
