Tucson police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery of two bodies in a Midtown home Saturday.
There were obvious signs of trauma, and police are treating the case as a homicide, a spokesman said.
Officers went to the home, in the 3200 block of East Willard Street, near East Speedway and North Country Club Road, at 7:18 p.m., said Sgt. Fabian Pacheco, a Tucson Police Department spokes-man.
Neighbors had reported yelling and the sound of glass breaking, followed by a woman yelling that "they're all dead inside," Pacheco said.
The woman, whose name was not released, appeared to be a relative of at least one of the deceased, he said.
Police believe she'd gone to the home to check on the occupants.
Neighbors at first thought she was trying to crawl out of a broken window in the home, but it appeared she broke the window to see inside, he said.
At the scene late Saturday night, Pacheco could not provide any information about the deceased, even their gender or approximate age.
