A woman killed her 3-year-old son and husband before failing to kill herself at a popular Pennsylvania water park, in what authorities on Tuesday called an “ isolated domestic tragedy.” Officers rushed to the Great Wolf Lodge at 3:13 p.m.on Monday after a “distressed female” in Room 2030 “advised the dispatcher that she needed help committing suicide,” according to a Poconos Township Police Department statement.That caller, 27-year-old Towanda resident Metallica Rose Harrison, “was observed with wounds to her person” when officers arrived, the statement continued.Officers found the bodies of a man and a 3-year-old boy in the room, and officers immediately “began investigating the deaths as homicides,” police said.The woman’s husband, Charles Harrison, and the child had both been stabbed in the chest, according to a criminal complaint cited by NBC affiliate WGAL.The suspect allegedly told a dispatcher where to find the bodies in their room.“My husband and son are already gone in the bed in the living room,” the affidavit quoted the wife saying.
“They’re already gone.I’m sorry.”Harrison was booked on suspicion of two counts of homicide.“This case is an isolated domestic tragedy and there is no threat to the community,”according to the police statement.
“Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones affected by this tragedy.”For SubscribersFOR SUBSCRIBERSLow-key Mike Rogers bets he can outflank Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Senate brawlFOR SUBSCRIBERSWhat to know about lung cancer following the pope’s diagnosisFOR SUBSCRIBERSKimberly Guilfoyle’s swift exitFOR SUBSCRIBERS‘The fear factor persists’: Economic damage lingers in cities hit by immigration raidsFOR SUBSCRIBERSAngry Cornell students demand change amid fraternity rape allegationsFOR SUBSCRIBERSHow a conspiracy theory about James Talarico raced through the right-wing internetFOR SUBSCRIBERSThe Data Dive: Steve Kornacki on why 2026 i...
