A mother and daughter were found dead in their home in Buford, Georgia in what appears to be a double murder.
When police arrived the scene, the suspect confronted them with a knife and was immediately shot dead by officers, Newsweek reports.
The incident
happened before 11 p.m. on Tuesday in Long Creek Drive, according to Newsweek.
In a
statement Hall County Sheriff’s Office said it was conducting a welfare and
possible missing persons check at the home of Kim Nguyen, 42, and Lam-Anh Trun,
18, Newsweek reported.
Deputies
approached the home to execute a search warrant but were confronted by the man
who “made aggressive movements” in their direction with a knife. Officers then
shot him dead.
When police
entered the property, they found the bodies of the mother and daughter.
Authorities
are investigating how the two women died.
Buford is a
town inhabited by 17,144 people, split between 4,727 households to the northeast
of Atlanta, Newsweek cited the 2020 census data.
