Authorities in Berks County are investigating after two individuals were found dead on Wednesday in Mount Penn Borough, with preliminary information indicating a possible murder-suicide. The discovery has shaken the local Reading community and prompted law enforcement activity at the scene.

Police were called to a residence in the 2500 block of Glen Terrace on Tuesday afternoon, where both a man and a woman were found deceased inside the home. The Berks County Coroner’s Office and local police spent several hours at the scene, but officials have released minimal details about the circumstances leading to the discovery.

Investigation remains active, and authorities are working to establish a timeline and motive. Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed the identities of the deceased or released information about the cause of death. At this stage, police have indicated the situation is being treated as a murder-suicide investigation, although specific forensic findings have not yet been disclosed by authorities.

The limited information available has left residents seeking clarity and expressing concern. For many in the community, events that unfold “too close to home” can be particularly distressing, and local law enforcement urges anyone with new information or relevant details to come forward and assist the ongoing investigation.

Given the sensitivity and developing nature of this case, formal statements from the Reading Police Department and the Berks County Coroner are anticipated as more facts emerge. Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact local authorities to ensure a thorough and transparent investigation concludes.
