Authorities in High Point, NC said that five people including three juveniles were found dead in a home early Saturday morning when two other residents managed to escape and sought help.
The incident occurred in the 2700 block of Mossy Meadow Drive inside a family home where four adults and three children lived, according to neighbors.
The survivors of the apparent murder-suicide ran to their neighbors' home ringing the doorbell unstoppably and screaming for help.
“I just decided to call 911 because I was like I'll just leave it up to them because I don't want to put my life or my family's life at risk,” the neighbor said.
Police discovered the lifeless bodies inside the home at around 7 a.m. Saturday.
“Officers did force entry into the home and went through the home in what we call a protective sweep, to check for victims and anyone in the home,” Captain Matt Truitt said.
“They ended up locating three juveniles that were deceased and two adults that were deceased.”
Investigators questioned the two people who escaped the ordeal. They have not released the victims' identities or the motive of the killings.
