Five Bodies Found in Virginia Trailer

Five bodies have been found in a Virginia trailer home, a local sheriff confirmed on Friday.

Accomack County Sheriff Todd Godwin said the people were found dead Thursday aftenoon after deputies responded to an emergency call about an attempted suicide. He would not immediately say how they were killed.

Omar Colon Matias, who said he was a brother of one of the victims, told the AP that the dead were his 27-year-old sister, her 9-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son and the children's father. A friend of the sister who owned the mobile home was also dead, Matias said.

Police are investigating the scene as a murder-suicide. The suspect is believed to be among the five dead.
