SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that left two people dead and two people injured early Monday morning.

According to a news release, deputies were sent to a home on Rogue River Drive for an incomplete 911 call around 1:15 a.m.

Upon arrival, deputies found four people inside the home with gunshot wounds. Two were pronounced dead at the scene while the other two were taken to the hospital and are listed in critical condition.

Two other people were inside the home when deputies arrived, and they were held for questioning.

Janet Bee has lived in the La Riviera community for about 50 years and sometimes walks her friend's dogs. She says she heard the sirens and saw the deputies.

"You can't help but be concerned," said Bee. "We have little break-ins and little robberies once in a while but to my knowledge, this is the first really serious thing."

Sacramento County Sheriff's Office spokesman Amar Gandhi and other neighbors described the area as peaceful.

"We've been living in this neighborhood for more than 40, about 41, 42 years and it's been one of the quietest neighborhoods in the area," said resident Charles Shaw.

Bee adds she feels law enforcement is doing everything they can to keep people safe.

The identities of the deceased haven’t been released yet and there is no suspect information available, but investigators say they don't believe there's cause for people to be concerned.

Anyone with information about the shooting can call the sheriff’s office at 916-874-5115.
