Police Investigate Suspicious Incident In Peacham

Vermont State Police are investigating a suspicious incident in Peacham.

Wednesday morning a woman called police to say that an unknown white van came to her house on Slack Street and her husband went outside to speak with the occupant. She then heard shots fired, and went to a neighbor to call police. The husband has not been found.

The Vermont Army National Guard has sent a Black Hawk helicopter to assist in the search. They say they’re looking for an elderly man.

Police say they are actively investigating the situation, and in a release, Captain Dave Covell says there is no increased risk to the Peacham community or general public at this time, though the search continues.

Update:

Vermont State Police say two deceased men were found at the residence when when a Tactical Support Unit arrived. A Crime Scene Search Team is processing the scene and the investigation continues. Information about the names of the men and the woman in the home are being withheld until their next-of-kin are notified.
