GALAX, Va. – Officers found a woman dead Monday morning while they were investigating a shooting at a Galax home.
Police say they received a shooting call around 6:30 a.m. from an owner of a home on Partridge Street.
They found a woman between the ages of 18 and 21 dead. Her name has not been released.
Police say they are questioning the homeowner who called 911. State police also stopped someone walking along the road in the area and brought them in for questioning as well.
Detectives recovered three guns from the house.
Police haven’t said whether this is a criminal incident or if there are any suspects.
“There’s no suspects, there’s no anything right now, as I said before, we don’t know if this is just a suicide, so we don’t know yet what’s going on,” said Chief DeWitt Cooper with the Galax Police Department.
The homeowner’s dad also gave police another possible clue.
“The father of the homeowner says that people come and go in that house, so I’m not sure, once again it’s an ongoing investigation that we’re not sure about yet,” said Chief Cooper.
This shooting is still under investigation. The medical examiner is working to identify the victim.
