Police in Rhode Island removed four bodies from a West Greenwich home where there’d been a heavy law enforcement presence throughout the day on Friday.

Police arrived at the home on Cheyenne Trail around 10:30 a.m. after one of the resident’s co-workers called for a welfare check, reporting their colleague had missed two days of work.

Authorities said the victims were found dead upon arrival and that they all appeared to have suffered fatal gunshot wounds, according to ABC News in Providence.

A medical examiner was on the scene through Friday afternoon when reports of the grisly discovery surfaced.

Local authorities said earlier in the day that Connecticut State Police were also involved in the investigation.

According to West Greenwich Police Chief Richard Ramsay, investigators were waiting for a search warrant before they could enter the home and survey the crime scene. He later called it “one of the worst scenes” he’s ever witnessed.

None of the victims have so far been identified. No further information has been released, though police assured the public there was no danger to the community.
