Two people were found fatally shot inside a home on Chicago's Southwest Side Monday morning, according to police.
Around 7:36 a.m., officers responded to a call of a person shot inside a residence in the 2500 block of W. 46th St. in the city's Brighton Park neighborhood, authorities said.
There they discovered a man and woman who had been had been shot to death in the basement apartment of a building.
The woman was 33 years old and had been shot in the torso, according to police. Officials said the man, a documented gang member whose age was unknown, was shot in the head. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office did not immediately confirm the fatality, and further information about the victims' identities was not immediately available.
Residents were uneasy on Monday, saying this kind of violence is not common in the area.
"It's kinda awkward that it did happen over in this neighborhood. I mean, in the Back of the Yards, I know there is gang shooting and stuff. So I didn't think anything like that would happen over here," said David Brosman, who lives across the street.

Brosman said he was watching the Super Bowl at the time police told him the shooting occurred.
"I really didn't hear nothing," he said. "No gunfire or nothing."
Other neighbors said they saw at least one suspicious person in the area before the shooting, and late Monday afternoon, police removed a car parked in front of the building, though its connection to the crime was unclear.
No one is in custody in connection with the shooting, and authorities continue to investigate.
