Hours after a shooting left a juvenile and an adult dead early Thursday morning, a portion of a DeKalb County neighborhood remained littered with evidence markers as an investigation continued.

The double shooting happened shortly before 4 a.m. along Rockcliff Road just south of I-20 in the Gresham Park community. Police spokesperson Blaine Clark said shots were fired into a residence.

Police provided few details about the two killed. Clark said the younger victim was a “juvenile older than 10″ and said detectives are working to determine the ages of both people.

An investigator with the county medical examiner’s office confirmed around 10:30 a.m. that authorities were still at the scene and said no additional information was available.

Several other people were at the home at the time of the shooting, but officials said they were not injured.

Information about the shooter and a possible motive was not released.
