WASHINGTON — A man killed five members of his family, then himself after a standoff with police on Wednesday in Chesapeake, Virginia, officers say.
The Chesapeake police say that they got a call at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday to check on someone’s welfare in a house on Wildwood Road.
When they got there, they found the body of Landon Dooley, 22.
Police say their investigation led them to a home at North George Washington Highway and Wintergreen Street. When police got there at about 7 p.m., they negotiated with Cameron Dooley, 26, who they say was armed and barricaded inside the home, where he lived with his grandmother.
When the police went in at about 2 a.m. Thursday, they found Dooley’s body, as well as that of his father, Steven Todd Dooley, 50, a recently retired Chesapeake police officer; his mother, Lori Dooley, 54; his sister, Brooke Dooley, 17, and another woman, whom they haven’t positively identified yet. All lived on Wildwood Road.
The police are continuing to investigate.
