Police are investigating a shooting on Town Road in Springport Township.
Chief of Police David Luce says officers were called to the 13000 block of Town road shortly before 7 a.m. for a shooting.
Officers responded and found two 18-year-olds dead in a yard near a home. Chief Luce says it appears there was a confrontation after a theft and someone at the home shot the teens. The chief says there is no threat to the public.
"It was a confrontation between the subjects that escalated into deadly force", said Luce. "There is no other threat, we're very confident with that, it was an isolated incident."
Two people have been questioned but no arrests have been made at this time. The names of the victims won't be released until next of kin has been notified.
Area schools heard of a police investigation and put buildings on lockdown as a precautionary measure. The lockdowns were lifted a short time after when police told the schools there was no threat.
