The El Paso County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a shooting at the residence at approximately 6:15 p.m.
and, upon arrival, discovered a grim scene.
Inside the home, deputies found Sarah Larocca and 58-year-old Brian Losee deceased. Another adult was also found at the scene with injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
