"Three bodies were found last tonight, all around 8:30 pm, rounding it up to a total of four dead bodies. Detective Miles Hartwell passed away in the hospital due to a severe stab wound to the stomach. Just after his death, a body was seen stepping off the roof of a building not far from the hospital and falling to his death. He was identified as Matthew James Cooper, and the hospital staff informed authorities that he was Hartwell's queer lover, leading us to believe he committed suicide due to not being able to cope with Hartwell's death.
As for the other two bodies, many people in Sunnydale apartment complex called up the police and reported to have heard two gunshots from the same apartment. Police showed up to the apartment only to find two dead bodies. They were identified as Detective Gabriel Blake, and his lover, Amelia Channing, both with bullet wounds to the head. Nobody knows what happened. There are many scenarios of what could have happened, but the police are leaning towards the possibility it may have been a suicide pact.
There is only one word to describe what happened:
Tragedy."
