COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A woman and two teenagers were found dead in Colorado Springs on Monday afternoon.

The grim discovery was made in a home in the 1900 block of Essex Lane at about 3:20 p.m.

"When officers arrived on scene, they checked the home and located the body of the adult female and they discovered the bodies of two deceased teenage children in the home as well," Sgt. Steve Noblitt said. "Based on the obvious trauma to the bodies, the homicide unit is investigating this case as suspected homicides."

Police said the husband and father of the victims called police after finding the bodies.

They were each found in different areas of the home, police said.

"The names of the three victims will not be released at this time," Noblitt said.

Crime scene tape covered a perimeter around the front of the house and neighbors stood outside in shock. Neighbors said the two teenage victims are a brother and sister.

The home in northeast Colorado Springs is about a mile east of Wassen High School.
