2 children, 4 adults found dead in Memphis home
Posted March 4th, 2008 by minortopics | via edition.cnn.comMemphis, Tennessee police responded to a call at a home on Monday night and found a massacre scene — 2 children and 4 adults were found dead, and 3 children were injured. It appears as if the crime had taken place as early as Saturday. One can only imagine the horror of those children having to fight to survive for 2 days amongst all the carnage.
“I heard about six or seven shots [Saturday night],” said Wayne Bolden, a landscaper who said he lives across the street from the home where the killings occurred. “I did not call the police because you always hear shooting in this neighborhood. Now I wish I would have called.”
He said he did not see any movement at the home the next day — the two cars, a van and a passenger car, never moved.
Monday he saw many police cars at the home and heard about the killings, he said.
Memphis Fire Department spokeswoman Melanie Young said firefighters responded to a 911 call at a home at 6:11 p.m. Monday and found the bodies and wounded children.
A 7-year-old boy, a 10-month-old girl and a 4-year-old whose gender wasn’t immediately known were taken to Le Bonheur Children’s Medical Center.
