(WWJ) Hazel Park police are investigating a double homicide involving a woman and her son.
Police were called to a home on Berdeno Ave., near 9 Mile Rd. and I-75, at around 4:15 p.m. Monday on a report of an unresponsive woman. Officers found the woman, 41, and a boy, 12, dead in the home.
Police are only saying both victims had sustained injuries from apparent trauma.
Police gave no information about a suspect, and a statement released Monday night only said the Hazel Park Police Department does not believe there is a danger to the community.
A message sent out to parents from the Hazel Park School District said “We regret to inform you of another tragic incident that has occurred within our Hazel Park Schools community. Earlier on Monday, a student and his mother tragically lost their lives."
The message goes on to say “The family is in our thoughts, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time."
The district will have counselors at the Middle School for students.
Parents who have specific concerns can call 248-648-2302. The district will be sharing information on ways to help those families involved in the coming days.
“Please take a moment to hug your children and remind them how much they are loved," the statement says.
