Anchorage police are investigating the deaths of two people at a Mountain View apartment as a double homicide.

Police responded to reports of a disturbance at the home on the 4100 block of Peterkin Avenue at around 4 p.m. Saturday. When officers arrived on scene they found one person dead and another injured. Both victims were suffering from gunshot wounds.

The injured person later died after being transported to hospital, according to APD Sergeant Steve Childers who was one of the officers investigating the crime scene.

The two victims were living together at the apartment and were believed to have been involved in a domestic relationship, however the exact nature of that relationship was not immediately known, according to Childers.

It was not clear how many suspects may have been involved in the killings but police said there may have been as many as three. No suspect information was immediately available and so far nobody is in custody. The suspects fled the area before officers arrived.

“It seems like the suspects came to the house and had a confrontation,” Childers said. “This something that seems like it’s targeted and not necessarily something that the citizens need to be worried about.”

Officers remained at the home for several hours investigating the crime scene and yellow tape was used to block off the section of Park Street near the front of the house. APD says the investigation is ongoing.

“Right now detectives are investigating. We have several moving pieces on that in different locations,” Childers said. “It will be up to detectives to determine what’s next in where they’re going to go.”
