According to police, officials believe the incident is the result of a double homicide that happened at a home along the 3900 block of Charter Club Drive in "The Ridings of Buckingham” neighborhood.

Officials on Monday said that officers were called to the property at about 10:27 a.m. for the report of an unresponsive person.

Upon arrival, officials said first responders were told that three residents of the home, two men and a woman, were deceased.

Inside the home officers located the deceased all with apparent gunshot wounds to the head, according to the police.
