The peace and quiet of a community known as Pocono Farms was shattered by the gunshots that took the life of a 16-year-old girl before the shooter -- her uncle -- turned the gun on himself.

WFMZ reports it happened in Coolbaugh Township near Tobyhanna, Monroe County, Pa.

Police were called to a home there just before 8:30 p.m. Friday night.

They found a 16-year-old female victim shot multiple times and a 63-year-old man believed to be her uncle shot once to the head, WFMZ reports.

The man is identified as Freddie Simmons; the girl's name was not immediately released. Both lived at the house, police told WFMZ.

Neighbor Dereck Dailey told WFMZ he and his wife are in shock:

"Just peaceful, calm people you would never assume that anything even close to this would occur," Dailey told WFMZ. "We're still somewhat confused and shocked and sad."

Other family members were home at the time of the shooting, and some ran next door to call for help, WFMZ reports.

"Good people, our prayers are with them," Dailey added to WFMZ.

The investigation continues, but police are treating the case as a murder-suicide, with Simmons gunshot to the head self-inflicted.

No motive has been made public.
