The names of the victims and a possible motive for the shooting were not immediately available.
Neighbors told NBC6 the residents kept to themselves, but may have been a family made up of a couple and their son.
"I looked out and there were police cars from there to there, and a fire truck, and an emergency vehicle," Darrell House said. "It was crazy out here."

Pompano Beach Animal Control could be seen bringing a cat out of the home along with a BSO deputy.
"I'm shocked at this," House said. "There was never any kind of altercation or arguments or anything like that."
Next door neighbor Lauren Goltz said the family kept to themselves, unlike the rest of the neighborhood.
"The neighbors were very quiet people. We saw them coming and going, just a wave. Nobody really knew them. They lived here renting for about a year," she said. "These people have been here like a year and they’re like strangers."
And although police told her this was an isolated incident, she said the whole thing has her feeling a bit frightened.
"It’s really upsetting to know that not only did it happen in my neighborhood, but right next door," she said.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information should call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
