BANGOR, Maine — Some neighbors say they were shocked to see police at Birch Hill Estates after a "domestic incident" occurred Thursday morning.
Around 10:30 a.m., police officers responded to the scene reported on G Street in Bangor, a news release from the Bangor Police Department said Thursday.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers tried to make contact with people inside the home, the release said.
Members of the Bangor Police Department's Special Response Team, negotiators, and operators for the department's robots were also at the scene, according to the release.
"After a while, we had been on the scene unable to make contact with anybody inside the house, robots went into the house followed shortly thereafter by members of our Special Response Team," Sgt. Jason McAmbley with the Bangor Police Department said.
When members of the Special Response Team entered the home shortly after the robots were placed, they discovered one dead male and one dead female, the release states.
At approximately 12:15 p.m., the situation was no longer deemed "active." G Street was blocked off around the area of the scene for several hours.
"Our evidence response team is going to be here for literally hours as they put the pieces together and figure out exactly what happened," McAmbley said Thursday afternoon.
One neighbor, Wess Brown, was home at the time police were on the scene.
"I had just headed for the garage when I heard a boom and I was like, 'Oh, what was that?' So I walk down the door yard and that's where I see the cops with their weapons drawn," Brown said.
Brown said although it has been a quiet neighborhood since he moved there about a month ago, today's incident has left him feeling a bit differently.
"[I lived here] only about a month, I don't know if I want to stay, maybe I want to move back out!" Brown said.
McAmbley said this isn't the first time Bangor police have been called to the home, as calls were made twice last month for "information complaints."
The investigation into the incident remains ongoing by the Bangor Police Department Criminal Investigations Division, according to the release, and there is no active danger or threat to the public.
