3 found dead in Flower Mound home in apparent double homicide-suicide after welfare check, police say

Three people were found dead inside a Flower Mound home in an apparent double homicide and suicide after police were called for a welfare check on Wednesday, officials said.

Officers were called to the 10700 block of Sunrise Circle around 10:45 a.m. when two residents failed to show up for work and family members could not reach them.

Flower Mound police said officers entered the home and found three dead inside. 

The three people are believed to be family members, a husband, wife and adult son, living together at the home, police said. Investigators believe the incident was a double homicide and suicide.

All three were taken to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office. They have not yet been identified.  

Police said the investigation is ongoing.
