The circumstances that led up to the shooting remain under investigation, but police said four people were arrested during a home invasion robbery at the same address earlier in the week.

Investigators are looking into the possibility that the deceased were killed in an interrupted burglary attempt, police said. However, they do not yet know whether the earlier robbery and tonight's incident were related.
