Two dead after shooting at Auburn Hills motel
A man and a woman were found dead inside an Auburn Hills motel on Friday night, moments after police heard gunshots in the room.
The deaths are considered a homicide-suicide, Auburn Hills police said in a Facebook post.
Officers had been sent to the Holiday Inn Express on Baldwin Road at 10:45 p.m. Friday, March 7, after a report of a possible domestic violence.
“Officers arrived on the scene and heard two gunshots while in the hallway approaching the room,” Auburn Hills police posted on Facebook. “Officers immediately entered the room and found a 34-year-old white female deceased, a 33-year-old white male deceased, and a 3-year-old white female unharmed.”
Early investigation leads police to believe the man, a Vassar resident, shot the woman, a Saginaw resident, and then shot himself, officials said.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the (girl) was taken to an area hospital and later released to a family member,” police said.
If anyone witnessed the pair or has information about them or what happened, they are asked to call police at 248-370-9460.
Police described the situation as “an isolated incident between the two deceased individuals; no one else was injured or involved in the altercation.”
Police said they would not immediately release their named.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office crime lab assisted, and the Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct autopsies.
