Authorities confirm that a shooting occurred at the house and a gun was located inside.

Neighbour Laura Colwell says she noticed a heavy police presence on her street in the morning, and she and her husband were told not to leave their home for about an hour.

She described her neighbours as kind and generous people, and said they have a daughter who got married over the summer.
