A 25-year-old woman and her two sons were found shot and killed in their Northfield home, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office.
Officials said Kassandra Sweeney and her two sons, 4-year-old Benjamin Sweeney and 1-year-old Mason Sweeney, each died of a single gunshot wound. Autopsies by the chief medical examiner revealed each of their manner of deaths was homicide.
The bodies of Sweeney and her sons were discovered Wednesday at their Northfield home on Wethersfield Drive.
The investigation continued through Thursday.
Sources said Northfield and state police were called to the address just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday after someone reported that several people might have been injured. When officers arrived, they found the bodies of Sweeney and her two sons.
The state police Major Crimes Unit returned to their home just before 9 a.m. Thursday.
A silver Ford F-150 was taken away on a flatbed truck Thursday morning, but there was no word as to why it was removed.
K-9 units were also seen going in and out of the home, and officers began searching a wooded area near the home later in the day.
“Investigators believe they’ve identified all individuals involved at this point and they don’t believe there’s any danger to the public,” said Geoffrey Ward, Senior Assistant Attorney General.
Ward would not comment specifically on any suspects in the case. The attorney general’s office said no arrest warrants were issued, adding the investigation remains active.
The investigation is ongoing and more information will be released as it becomes available, officials said.
