Authorities were investigating suspected murder-suicide that left three people dead at a Central Bucks County home on Monday.

Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn and Buckingham Township Police Chief David Scirrotto confirmed that the violent incident took place early Monday morning in the “The Ridings of Buckingham” neighborhood.

Officers were called to the scene at approximately 10:27 a.m. after receiving a 9-1-1 call about an unresponsive person at 3954 Charter Club Drive.

Once officers arrived to the scene, they were greeted by an elderly resident who reported finding three other residents of the home deceased.

Police said they found the bodies of two men and one woman.

The deceased have been identified as Steven Chow, 59, Raymond Chow, 21, and Amy Truong, 63, authorities said.

The preliminary investigation found that Steven Chow shot both Raymond and Amy while they were in their beds before turning the gun on himself, police said.

The investigation remained active as detectives from both the Buckingham Township Police Department and the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office were at the scene into the afternoon hours.

Authorities have asked anyone with information related to the case to come forward and contact the Buckingham Township Police Department or the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
