Police responded to a disturbance call at an apartment in Lawrence, about 30 minutes north of Boston, at around 3:00 a.m. E.T.

Officers found six victims, who were all taken to a local hospital where one was pronounced dead.

Police have not identified the victim at this time, pending notification of next of kin.
