The Westport Police Department says:
At approximately 4 p.m. today (Thursday, June 17), the Westport Police Department, Westport Emergency Medical Services and Westport Fire Department responded to a home in Westport on a report of an unresponsive female.
Upon arrival, an adult female was located inside the home, and it was determined that she was deceased. After finding the female, the officers went through the interior of the residence to determine if anyone else was inside. It was at that time that officers located a 7-year-old child who was also deceased.
The Westport Police is in the beginning stages of this investigation, assisted by the State Police Major Crimes Unit.
This appears to be an isolated incident. We do not believe that there is any active threat to the community.
Thoughts and prayers with the family as well as our brave first responders that answered the call. I cannot imagine what everyone is going through but they will need our support.
God bless the family and friends of these victims. I’m also praying for the first responders who didn’t start their day prepared for such a tragedy.
