Hazel Park Police are investigating what appears to be a double homicide involving a 41-year-old mother and her 12-year-old son.

The two were found dead inside a home in the 23000 block of Berdeno Avenue, near 9 Mile Road, around 4:15 p.m. on Monday. A police press release said both had sustained injuries from apparent trauma. Police were responding to a report of an unresponsive female.

Authorities said they are developing leads, but no arrests have been made.

The school has sent a message to parents in the school district informing them that counseling at school will be available, Fox 2 reports. 

"Please take a moment to hug your children and remind them how much they are loved," Hazel Park Public Schools Superintendent Amy Wilcox and Hazel Park City Manager Edward Klobucher wrote in a statement. "Encourage them to be especially compassionate and supportive of their classmates, as you never know what someone else is going through."
