BERLIN, Vt. (AP) - Vermont State Police said they're investigating the deaths of three people related to a woman arrested a day earlier in the fatal shooting of a state social worker.
Three bodies were found on Saturday morning at a home in Berlin, with police saying at least two appeared to have been shot. Police said the Berlin victims, all female, were related to Jody Herring, who police said fatally shot a state social worker in neighboring Barre late Friday afternoon.
Authorities said that victim, Lara Sobel, had handled a case for the state Department for Children and Families in which her alleged killer's daughter was removed from the home.
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin said it's not believed there's a continuing threat related to the incidents.
