Officers responded to the home along Cavalier Drive just after 3:30 a.m. and found the two wounded, according to authorities. The victims were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive.

Officials did not say what may have sparked the shooting.

Several evidence markers were scattered around the street for hours as investigators documented the scene outside the house. A black sedan with its windows shattered by bullets was also parked outside.
