Police in Peabody, Massachusetts, are investigating a probable multiple homicide in a normally peaceful suburb.
According to CBS Boston, a woman ran screaming for help on Saturday that a crime had taken place in a home on Farm Avenue. After she flagged down police, investigators reportedly discovered at least one and possible more bodies dismembered in the basement of the home.
There are few confirmed facts in the active investigation, and a Boston-based reporter has said on Twitter that a boyfriend and girlfriend are believed to have been shot to death.
