Authorities are investigating a double homicide at Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun, Pennsylvania, after a 3-year-old boy and his father were killed in a guest room during an alleged domestic incident, according to police and the Monroe County Coroner's Office.

Monroe County Coroner Thomas Yanac said the office was called on Oct. 12 for the double homicide at the resort. Police identified the victims as Charles Harrison and his 3-year-old son.

According to a criminal complaint cited by 28/22 News, Metallica Rose Harrison, 27, of Towanda, is accused of killing the child and his father. Police said the father suffered multiple stab wounds and the child suffered one stab wound.

Police said Metallica Harrison was taken to a hospital and faces two charges of criminal homicide. Authorities also said there was no danger to the public.

Great Wolf Resorts Vice President of Corporate Communications Jason Lasecki said the incident was limited to a family matter inside a guest room and that the company was cooperating with investigators.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken by a tragic domestic incident that occurred yesterday in a guest room at our resort in the Pocono Mountains. It was an isolated family incident, and we’re cooperating fully with local law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those affected. Out of respect for those involved, as well as the integrity of the investigation, we ask that any further information regarding this matter be directed to Pocono Township Police Department." said Jason Lasecki, Vice President of Corporate Communications.

Lasecki said law enforcement determined the situation was an isolated family incident and verified there were no ongoing security concerns at the resort.

Great Wolf Lodge said operations continued while a small area of the resort remained restricted because of the police investigation. The resort offered guests the option to postpone visits without change fees if they were uncomfortable attending.

The Pocono Township Police Department scheduled a press conference on Tuesday afternoon to release additional information about the incident.
