A 14-year-old girl and her 51-year-old father were found dead inside their upstate New York home Friday morning in an apparent murder-suicide, the Baldwinsville Central School District confirmed on Facebook. 

The 14-year-old was found in a separate room from her father, Christopher Wood, according to Syracuse.com. Both had fatal gunshot wounds to the head, with his appearing to be self-inflicted. 

Ava Wood was a ninth-grader at Durgee Junior High School in Baldwinsville, the district said. 

Police discovered the bodies after conducting a welfare check at the home after the girl’s mother said there was no answer at their door and Ava hadn’t left for school.She told police she spoke to the father on the phone Thursday night and he told her, "This is how it ends for us," according to Syracuse.com.

"It’s difficult, to say the least," Baldwinsville Police Chief Michael Lefancheck said in a press conference, according to WSTM-TV. "It’s not an easy scene for either of us to witness. Both the sheriff and I have been in law enforcement for a long time and to have to walk through a scene like that is not an easy thing to do."

Two days before, Christopher Wood had sent harassing text messages to his estranged wife and there was a separate stalking incident last year, Onondaga County Sheriff Toby Shelley said, according to Syracuse.com.

The Baldwinsville Central School District has implemented crisis counseling for students and canceled all after-school activities. 

"It’s important to allow children to talk about their grief experiences and what they need during this tragic time," acting Superintendent Joseph M. DeBarbieri said in a statement. "Counselors urge you to listen to your child’s concerns and questions. After communicating this difficult news to your child, if you feel that they need additional support, our counselors will be available to provide you with resources and strategies."

He added, "We are a close-knit school community and our hearts are broken by this tragedy. Our thoughts are with Ava’s family and friends during this extremely difficult time." 

The Village of Baldwinsville Police Department didn't immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. 

As a senator in the 1970s, Joe Biden tanked then-President Jimmy Carter’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency over the nominee's illegal possession of classified documents.

Carter chose Ted Sorenson to serve as his CIA director in 1977.

Sorenson had admitted to taking boxes of classified records home with him after leaving the White House in 1964, and using the materials for his work in writing a biography of former President John F. Kennedy. Sorenson's admission to this came in affidavits used in cases involving the Pentagon Papers.

At the time, Biden considered the affidavit and joined with Republicans to block Sorenson from being confirmed by the Senate. Biden also suggested Sorenson may have violated the Espionage Act.

During Sorenson’s confirmation hearing, Biden said the "real issue" was "whether Mr. Sorensen intentionally took advantage of ambiguities in the law, or carelessly ignored the law."

"If he did so, can he now bring the activities of the intelligence community within the strict limits of the law?" Biden asked. "We will expect that in the future of intelligence agencies. If that is to be the case, then we must hold the Director-DCI-accountable as well."

Carter eventually withdrew Sorenson’s nomination, though Sorenson defended himself by saying his "handling of classified information was at all times in accordance with the then-existing laws, regulations and practices," according to a 1977 Washington Post report on the withdrawal of his nomination.

Decades later, Biden finds himself under special counsel investigation for his improper retention of classified records from his time as vice president during the Obama administration.

WHITE HOUSE REFUSES TO SAY IF BIDEN WOULD SIT FOR INTERVIEW WITH SPECIAL COUNSEL IN CLASSIFIED RECORDS PROBE

Attorney General Merrick Garland last week appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the president’s possible unauthorized removal and improper retention of classified documents and records discovered at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C., and in his private residence in Wilmington, Delaware.

Classified records were found inside the Washington, D.C., offices of the Penn Biden Center think tank on Nov. 2, 2022, but the discovery was only disclosed to the public last week. A second stash of classified documents were also found inside the president’s garage at his home in Delaware, and over the weekend, additional classified records were found inside the president’s home in Delaware.

The White House has said it was cooperating with that DOJ review, and maintains it will continue its full cooperation with Special Counsel Hur’s investigation.
