MASTIC BEACH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A man and woman were found shot to death in an apparent murder-suicide on Long Island Thursday, and six children were removed from the home by police.

Around 4:40 p.m., police were called to a home on Woodside Drive in Mastic Beach, after four of the children came home to the residence from school and found themselves locked out, according to Suffolk County police Detective Lt. Kevin Beyrer.

The children went to a local store to ask an adult for help, and the adult went to the house and looked in the window, Beyrer said. The man saw two people lying on the floor and called 911, Beyrer said.
