STOCKTON, Calif. — Two people were found dead Wednesday morning at a home in Stockton.
According to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, a call came in around 10 a.m. requesting a welfare check at a home on Harrisburg Place near Porter Way.
After getting inside the home, deputies say they found a man and woman dead with gunshot wounds.
"Based off of what we know right now, we do not believe there is any threat to the community," said Heather Brent, spokesperson for the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office. "Our investigative team is very thorough. They're going to go around to the community, they're going to collect all the information they can and they're going to make sure that they have a very accurate investigation."
Due to the active investigation, Brent declined to say whether a shooter was at large or how the two people who were found dead knew each other.
The morning violence and lack of answers left neighbors in the Lincoln Village area on edge.
"It's a pretty quiet place, we all know each other," said Brisa DeLeon, who lives doors down from where the investigation unfolded. "For that to happen, it's just kind of strange. It even makes our whole neighbors kind of feel like, 'Are we really comfortable being here?'"
DeLeon says a couple lived at the home where the man and woman were found dead. She described the two as generally peaceful and friendly, adding that the wife would frequently walk her dog and talk with neighbors.
"We love her so much. She's always sweet to us. She was the first neighbor who introduced us to everyone else," said DeLeon. "She always would come out and say 'hi' to everybody and try her best to talk to everybody."
With more questions left than answers, DeLeon says she is feeling shocked that the police tape could go up so close to home.
"I pray for peace within their family especially because she is a lovable person," said DeLeon. "We want to know what happened but we're also scared to know the truth."
