In a heartbreaking incident in North Sewickley, Pennsylvania, two parents and their two teenage sons were found shot to death, an event that officials are investigating as a murder-suicide. The local District Attorney, Nate Bible, referred to the occurrence as a triple murder-suicide, and stated that initial calls to emergency services were made from within the family's home.
The tragedy unfolded when emergency responders arrived at about 8:30 p.m. on Sunday and discovered the bodies of the parents, Clifford, 51, and Michelle Hunt, 48, alongside their two sons, 18-year-old Clifford Jr. and 16-year-old Cody. Both teens were initially reported in critical condition due to gunshot wounds to the head but unfortunately succumbed to their injuries by Monday. Investigators believe that Clifford Jr. was responsible for the fatal shootings of his family members before he took his own life.
The community is grappling with the shock of the event, with local residents expressing their disbelief at such a violent act occurring in their tight-knit town. One community member described the atmosphere, noting that many people find it hard to comprehend that such a tragedy could happen to a family known by everyone in the area.
Michelle, remembered fondly as a devoted animal lover, and Cody, who had a passion for aviation and recently completed his pilot license examinations, were actively involved in their community. They contributed significantly to the Air Heritage Aviation Museum, where they shared their enthusiasm for aviation with visitors. The museum plans to honor both Michelle and Cody for their contributions.
As the local schools and friends mourn their loss, a community-led GoFundMe campaign has emerged to support the family by funding their funerals. The organizer reflected on the profound impact of the tragedy on everyone who knew the Hunts, expressing a shared sense of grief and a desire to help those affected. Meanwhile, local law enforcement assured the public that the situation was contained and posed no ongoing threat.
