Four people found shot to death in east Alabama home

An investigation is underway after four people were found shot to death at a Talladega home.

Talladega police were dispatched about 3:30 p.m. Saturday to the residence on Old Shocco Road.

They went to the home after receiving a request for a welfare check on someone who had not been heard from since Thursday.

Once at the residence, police made entry and found three men and a woman dead. All had been shot, according to the Talladega County Coroner’s Office.

It was not immediately clear how long the victims had been dead.

Efforts to reach Talladega police for additional information were not immediately successful.
