"PEKIN, IL — Three people were found dead of apparent gunshot wounds Sunday night at a home at 1227 Highland St., according to Pekin police Chief Greg Nelson.
"Officers were called to the address at about 9 p.m. and began an investigation that Nelson said could involve a murder/suicide scenario.
"Neighbors identified the residents of the home as 77-year-old Ira Lee Clemons, his 75-year-old wife, Barbara, and their 52-year-old son, Allen Scott Clemons.
"Officials declined to provide the names of the deceased, pending notification of family members.
The couple's bodies were found in a bedroom, while the son was found downstairs, according to Pekin Police Public Information Officer Don Jolly.
"`We're not looking for a suspect,` he said.
"Jolly said the call was in response to a well-being check from a relative. It is unknown when the deaths occurred."
