According to a report released by the Fairfax County Police Department Public Information Office, officers attempted to call the home several times and knocked on the door, but were unable to gain access until 9 p.m.

Upon entry of the home at 9 p.m., police found the body of Serena Hansken-Vierimmaa with an apparent gunshot wound. Aaron Vierimaa, 41, was not injured and was charged with obstruction of justice, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
