“An adult female and two children. Looks like they are teenage”
The woman and two children were found shot to death around 8 o’clock Tuesday morning inside a home on Worden Street in southeast Grand Rapids. Police chief Eric Wenstrom says they are all murder victims.
“Is it possible it would be a murder suicide or something? It looks from the information we have this is a pure homicide. These three individuals were all murdered.”
During a meeting of the public safety committee, city manager Mark Washington said they are the first murders in Grand Rapids in over a month.
“It had been almost 38 days since the last homicide in our city and none of us expected to wake up to what we woke up to on a day where school was out and two of the three victims were youth. Our thoughts are with the family.”
During his nearly 4 years in the job, the police chief says
“This is the most violent day I’ve seen here. Just devastating.”
