Dutchess County authorities are searching by land and air for 43-year-old Sarwat Lodhi. Investigators said they believe she may be injured and in need of medical attention. Authorities have not elaborated on why they believe Lodhi is injured.
The bodies of a father and son were found dead with gunshot wounds inside a silver Nissan Pathfinder parked at a Pleasant Valley supermarket Thursday morning. Pleasant Valley is a town located about 75 miles north of New York City. The man's other son was subsequently found dead at his residence.
State police identified the dead as Abbas Lodhi, 49, Zain Lodhi, 9, and Mugthba Lodhi, 13. Authorities have not specified which boy was found at which location. They have also not specified the relationship between the dead and Sarwat Lodhi. Authorities will only say they are all part of an immediate family.
Authorities suspect a shotgun, which was found at the supermarket crime scene, was used in the shootings, according to midhudsonnews.com.
A state police spokesman has declined to comment on whether police suspect the deaths were part of a murder-suicide. However, in a Thursday press release, authorities did refer to the case as a "family tragedy."
