The roommate left the house and called 911, officials said. Officers responded and found the three humans and two pets dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
Investigators didn't immediately identify the deceased people. Officials said a 52-year-old man shot and killed a 33-year-old man, a 53-year-old woman and the two dogs and then shot and killed himself.
Detectives found a suicide note and believe depression could be a motivating factor in this shooting, the news release said.
