When officers arrived at the home, they located two men suffering from gunshot wounds inside the residence. Officers secured the home and attempted first aid on both men who subsequently died at the scene.

The preliminary investigation revealed two men forced their way into the residence where a shooting occurred between them and an adult male resident of the home. One of the suspects and the male resident of the home were shot. The second suspect fled the residence.

Also present inside the home at the time of the incident were two men working on the home and the homeowner, identified as an adult woman. One of the men who were working at the residence was also struck during the encounter.
