Buffalo Grove murders: 2 children among 5 found dead in domestic-related incident

BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (WLS) -- Three adults and two children were found dead in a home in the north suburb of Buffalo Grove Wednesday night, according to the coroner's office.

Police are calling it a domestic-related incident.

Officers were dispatched to a two-story home in the 2800-block of Acacia Terrace around 11:12 a.m. after receiving a call for a well-being check on a woman.

When there was no answer at the residence, officers forced entry and discovered the five people dead during a sweep of the home, officials said.

"Eighteen years. My kids grew up here, so it's... you never see it, never seen anything like this ever," said Falguni Patel, a Buffalo Grove resident.

Roads are blocked off in the area and police said the public is not in danger.

Police added that they are not searching for a suspect and that this is an isolated incident.

"It's a shock. It's not what you expect, especially, it's a family neighborhood, good area, quiet area," said fellow Buffalo Grove resident, Michelle.

The ages, genders and injuries sustained will not be released until after the autopsies Thursday, the Lake County (IL) Coronor said.

"Just my thoughts and prayers to the family and just the neighbors," Patel said.

"Be with your family. Hold someone a little closer. You just never know what to expect," Michelle added.

The Lake County Major Crimes Task Force is assisting in the investigation.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
