BRUNSWICK (AP) – Seven people were killed and two critically injured at a mobile home located on a historic plantation in southeastern Georgia, officials said yesterday.
Glynn County spokeswoman Candice Temple wouldn't say how they were killed. The county's police chief, Matt Doering, said authorities discovered the victims when responding to a 911 call shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday.
Doering said the injured were taken to an area hospital.
Police said the probe was a homicide investigation. A department news release said some of the victims had been tentatively identified, but it didn't provide any names or ages. It also didn't say whether police were looking for any suspect.
The mobile home park consists of about 100 spaces and is nestled among centuries-old live oak trees near the center of New Hope Plantation, according to the plantation's Web site.

BRUNSWICK, GA -- The scene was so foreign to residents of the New Hope Plantation mobile home park that they were looking for answers from the media.
They were surprised and concerned - but most of all fearful after seven people were found dead in one of the park's homes. That's because police have not commented on a suspect - either on the run, captured or dead.
Neighbors tell First Coast News that New Hope Plantation is normally a quiet area, with the occasional minor break-in or late night party.
