Police were called at 4:30 p.m. to the home in the 1100 block of Lawson Avenue on a report of two people found injured and unresponsive, according to Sgt. Mike Ernster. He said the two adults were suffering from "life-threatening injuries," although he did not specify the nature of the injuries.
Firefighters and paramedics pronounced the victims dead at the scene.
"As officers were first arriving they did detain a male and preliminary information indicates this male is a suspect in this incident," said Ernster, adding that the suspect remained in custody.
Homicide investigators are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the killings, and forensic teams remained in the home well into Thursday night. The Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office will identify the victims.
The killings are the city's 30th and 31st homicides of the year.
"I ask everyone to keep the victims and their families in your thoughts as they bear the burden of this senseless tragedy," Ernster said.
LOCAL FICTION: Featuring stories within stories, she’ll discuss the book at Talking Volumes on Tuesday.
