When a News 9 crew arrived on scene, the man, who claimed to also live in the home, was talking with police. But he was visibly distraught and didn't want to talk about the incident.

“Yesterday, I seen the individual washing his car when I picked my kids up from school” neighbor, Rodney Klepinger, said.

Klepinger says he's lived in the neighborhood for the past 14 years and knows there were two people who lived in the home that sits near the corner of South Madole and Drexel.

“They’re quiet. They stay to themselves. They’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived in the neighborhood,” he said.

Others added that the neighborhood, overall, is mild in nature.

“This neighborhood’s pretty quiet, other than the homeless that come by and try to trash our neighborhood.”

Officials say no arrests have been made at this time, nor do they have any suspects.
