Story updated at 9:36 a.m.

Simsbury Police are investigating a shooting that left two dead at the Meadows apartments in Simsbury Wednesday night.

At approximately 8:20 p.m., the Simsbury Police Department responded to a domestic call at the Meadows apartment complex on Hopmeadow Street where two bodies were discovered, according to police.

A resident of the Meadows apartments, who did not want to be identified, reported hearing two shots fired before police arrived. A male and a female were found dead at the scene, according to Simsbury Police Chief Peter Ingvertsen.

Kevin Liu, who lives next door to the couple, said they were a young couple with a child.

"They have a very young boy," Liu said. "They were very quiet, they never talked."

Police are not calling the incident a murder-suicide at this point but did confirm that they have no reason to believe there are any other suspects involved.

Simsbury Police were assisted by the Avon Police Department and State Police Major Crimes Unit. Investigators were on the scene until approximately 5 a.m.

Police are working to notify the next of kin.

The article says it provides information about "various ways" the community can helpRead More teachers. However, it provides information only about the Staples discount program. The link takes you to a Staples website, not to a list of ways communities are helping. In addition, statistics given are national, not relating to Simsbury, or even Connecticut. This seems like a canned article designed to promote Staples. Was it written and submitted by that retailer?
