Police responded to an emergency call reporting multiple deaths inside a home on Moharimet Drive in Madbury. Upon arrival, officers immediately spoke with the callers to gather details and then entered the residence to investigate further.
Inside, they found two adults and two young children dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Investigators later identified the deceased as Ryan Long, Emily Long, and their children, Parker and Ryan. Fortunately, a third child, a toddler, was found alive and unharmed inside the home. Although the toddler survived, the emotional toll on first responders was immense due to the nature of the scene.

However, officials have not yet named the shooter, and the investigation remains active.They confirmed that autopsies will determine the exact cause and manner of each death. Authorities are working diligently to piece together what led to this devastating event.
Meanwhile, neighbors expressed shock and sadness. They described the family as kind, friendly, and deeply involved in the community. One neighbor recalled a touching moment when her daughter gifted an American Girl doll to the young girl who was killed. Others spoke highly of Ryan Long, who worked as a school psychologist and positively influenced many local students.
Although the community remains shaken, residents have come together to support one another during this emotional time. Police reassured the public that there is no ongoing threat but said officers will remain on-site during the Madbury investigation. They urged residents to stay alert, report any concerns, and allow law enforcement to finish collecting evidence without interference.
In addition to police efforts, grief counselors and community leaders have stepped in to offer support to affected families and neighbors. Many town members have organized vigils and gatherings to honor the Long family and promote healing.
Despite the overwhelming sadness, the town is leaning on unity and compassion as it processes this tragedy. The ongoing Madbury investigation highlights how even close-knit communities can experience unimaginable loss. Authorities promised to release more details as they become available and continue to ask for patience while they complete their work.
