Names and ages of the deceased, and the manner of death, have not been released.

Several neighbors told NBC 5 that they have seen police respond to the home, on and off, in the past.
"I grew up here, so it's just so shocking for this to happen in a place that I grew up in a safe area," one neighbor told NBC 5. "It's something I'm still trying to wrap my head around. This isn't how its supposed to be, especially around the holidays."
Investigators remained on the scene overnight Wednesday and into Thursday morning. According to officials, the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force is assisting with the investigation.
