Once people are sick and turned away from hospitals or can't afford to eat, it's going to be complete chaos.

'There's blood everywhere': Family of 7 dead in suspected Chatham County murder-suicide

MONCURE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Deputies said seven people, all from the same family, are dead after a suspected murder-suicide in Chatham County on Sunday night.

According to a news release, Chatham County deputies first received a call from a home on Moncure Flatwood Road shortly after 5:30 p.m.

In the 911 call, the son of one of the victims told police to get there quickly.

"There's a guy at my house shooting right now," he said.

He told the dispatcher that he was hiding in the closet.

"It doesn't sound like anyone's in my house anymore. I don't know what's going on," he said.

He then left the closet and told the dispatcher there was blood everywhere.

"My dad is dead," he said.

One lady is a criminal attorney and said my area is not issuing any new warrants, they are trying to keep people out of jail because it is spreading in the prisons. I said well it must be a good time to be a criminal, she said yeah don’t spread that around.

And I live in what should normally be a fairly safe Orange County suburb. Also yes, this crime was directly related to the lockdowns.

Due to local cases of #COVID-19, PPD is asking all criminal activities and nefarious behavior to cease. We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime & thank all the criminals in advance. We will certainly let you know when you can resume your normal criminal behavior.
Until then.... #washyourhands & #behaveyourself
