TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Twin Falls police responded to a home Wednesday night after receiving a silent 911 call and discovered two gunshot victims — one of whom was already dead.
WATCH: Twin Falls police found 2 gunshot victims after a silent 911 call Wednesday night. One person is dead; another was taken to Saint Lukes.
According to Lt. Steven Gassert of the Twin Falls Police Department, officers received a 911 call with no one answering dispatch just after 8 p.m. Wednesday. Officers quickly arrived at the home near the intersection of 11th Ave East and Blue Lakes Boulevard.
"Officers arrived on scene and came in contact at the residence with an adult female with a gunshot wound to her stomach.... They were able to get her out to medical care, and she was later transported by Magic Valley Paramedics to Saint Lukes," Gassert said.
Her condition is unknown at this time.
After attending to the woman, officers began checking the rest of the home, where they found another gunshot victim.
"While clearing the residence, officers located an adult male with a gunshot wound to the head... that male was pronounced deceased at the residence," Gassert said.
Mary Cuellar lives a few doors down from where the shooting took place. She said she did not personally know the couple beyond normal neighborhood interactions.
"I'd be out here watering and she would drive by and wave - I've only talked to them a couple of times, they seemed like nice people to me... I just don't know what happened... or who even called 911?" Cuellar said.
The identities of those involved have not been released. The Twin Falls Police Department says it is actively investigating what led to the shootings.
"We do believe this is an isolated incident - there is no threat to the public, and we believe we have everyone that was involved accounted for," Gassert said.
