"Detectives with BSO Crime Scene and Homicide Units were notified and are investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident," authorities said. "Investigators say there are no immediate threats to the community."

Investigators haven't said what may have led to the deaths, but neighbors said there were signs of a struggle in a hallway on the 8th floor, the top floor of the building.

“A lot of blood on her door, then you see it come down the hallway, on the floor, by the elevator, you see it on someone else’s door, so it’s just blood," resident Cicely Williams said.

More information was not immediately available.
