Both of the sons survived the attack with injuries that are not life-threatening, according to a new report.
On Friday morning, a daughter, who doesn’t live at the home, went there after she became concerned. She wasn’t injured.
Someone in the house called 9-1-1 Friday morning around 10 a.m. from the home in the 1500 block of Brookstone Lane.
When officers arrived, they found the couple’s bodies inside. They were both in their 50s.
A neighbour said she spoke to the wife a few days ago and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
The investigation remains ongoing.
