Officers said two children, both two years of age, were found dead inside a vehicle after being accidentally left for an extended period of time, before being discovered by family members.

Neighbors in the area described the incident as sad and unusual.

“I heard the sirens racing down the street and then, more commotion, and went down to the tape over to the crime scene and spoke with the officers there,” neighborhood resident Paul Barnes said.

It is unknown if any arrests have been made at this time.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the official cause of death.
