Springfield police are investigating the deaths of two people after a lengthy standoff.

Police tell us they found a man and a woman dead inside an RV parked just behind this house with possible gunshot wounds.

Police first received a call around 2 p.m. this afternoon. It appears one of the people inside the RV was on the phone with someone and that person then called police and told them about a disturbance here possibly involving a firearm.

Police say they tried to negotiate but never made contact with anyone in the RV and eventually had to force entry and that's when they found the bodies.

KOLR10 spoke with a neighbor who is moving into the house right next door and he says this is a sad situation but is still confident it's a safe area.

“My daughter and I came with the U-Haul and the street was closed. It was blocked off and we knew something was going on because the police were actually using these stone pillars as kind of like a shield," neighbor Robert Baldwin says.

The homicide response team has taken over this investigation. No word yet on the identity of the people inside that RV or an exact cause of death.
