The bodies of three dead people were found by a relative Sunday morning in their home in Zimmerman, Minn., the Sherburne County Sheriff's Office reported.
Sheriff Joel Brott reported that all three were dead when deputies arrived at the home. Deputies were called by the relative who found the bodies about 10 a.m.
The Sherburne County Crime Scene Team and the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating the deaths, which have not been classified as homicides, suicides or accidental as yet.
Authorities, however, said that they are not looking for any suspects in the deaths and that neighbors are not in danger.
Additional details are expected to be released Monday by authorities.
"We've got 5,000 people and we are all one big family," said Zimmerman Mayor Dave Earenfight. "They are all in our prayers right now. We will pray and grieve and go on from here."
Officers had the area around the house blocked off for most of the day Sunday while searching for evidence.
John Peterson's family was coming home from church on Sunday morning when they saw the police cars half a block from his home in the 10000 block of 5th Av. He said a family with two elementary-age children lived in the home, but officers haven't told neighbors who was killed. He said he didn't know the family well, but the home was kept up and they seemed to be good people.
