In Vermont, authorities are investigating the homicides of Brian Crossman Sr., his wife Erica, and her son Colin Taft, who were found shot to death in their Pawlet home on September 15. The police initially responded to a report of a 'suspicious person,' leading them to discover the victims, with Brian serving as a selectboard member for the town. All three deaths have been ruled homicides, with gunshot wounds confirmed as the cause, but no suspects are currently in custody. A person of interest, reportedly a relative of the victims, made the initial call to police and was found nearby in blood-covered clothing. Community members are mourning the loss, with selectboard chairman Mike Beecher expressing the profound impact on the small town of fewer than 1,400 residents. The investigation remains active, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
