Four members of a family were found dead inside a home at Fort Stewart in southeastern Georgia, the US military said Thursday.
Military police discovered the bodies of a soldier, her husband and their two children Wednesday afternoon after members of the soldier's unit requested a welfare check, according to the statement from Fort Stewart officials.
The statement did not say whether investigators were looking for suspects. But he called the deaths an “isolated incident” and said there is no threat to the broader community.
Fort Stewart spokesman Kevin Larson declined further comment, citing the active investigation.
Thomas Hamilton, spokesman for the Army's Criminal Investigation Division, said that "individuals associated with this incident have been identified." But he declined to say whether any suspects had been arrested or were being sought.
The military did not immediately release the names of the dead.
Fort Stewart is the largest military post east of the Mississippi River. Located about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southwest of Savannah, it is home to the Army's 3rd Infantry Division.
