Multiple people killed in Pasco home; suspect on the loose
A woman says her daughter called her for help after getting shot at a mobile home in the Moon Lake area early Monday morning.
Deputies say multiple people are dead inside the home at the corner of Banbury Avenue and Adler Street.
The mother rushed to the home, picked up her bleeding daughter, and called 911 for help.
An ambulance took her to the hospital, but there have been no updates on her condition.
Deputies, including two CSI vans, are on scene one block east of Moon Lake Road. Calls came in to 911 shortly before 5 a.m. of reported gunshots.
Investigators are not saying how many victims are inside the home, because at least one suspect is still on the loose, and that's information only deputies and suspects would know.
Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco says that "drugs may be involved" in the murders and that it is possible this was a targeted hit. He describes the scene as a "very active investigation" and urges anyone who may have information to contact the Sheriff's Office at 1-800-706-2488. Anonymous tips can also be submitted on the Sheriff's Office website.
Nocco also urged the suspect or suspects to turn themselves in. "We come out in force with force," he said during a press conference Monday morning.
Investigators say the victims "suffered significant injuries," but a medical examiner still had to determine what caused their deaths. Initial police reports said multiple people were dead after a shooting.
We checked with Pasco County Schools, and they told us no schools are impacted by the crime scene, but some school bus routes may need to be adjusted.
Deputies advise motorists to avoid Banbury Avenue at Moon Lake Road, which will remain closed as the investigation continues.
