No survivors were found at the scene, and police said they do not have any suspects at this time. The scene is limited to the home, and there were no signs of forced entry.
Multiple law enforcement resources are working the scene, including an unmanned aircraft system conducting overhead searches, crime scene investigation teams, forensics and patrol units.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, though police did not specify how many weapons may have been involved or whether they were connected to the incident.
Police said they have not been able to make identifications of the victims and have not notified next of kin. They could not confirm whether all victims were adults or if the people involved knew each other.
