La Junta police responded to a home in the 1100 block of Smithland Avenue at 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and found two adults and two children with gunshot wounds, Colorado Bureau of Investigation officials said in a news release Wednesday.

Two adults and a child were pronounced dead at the scene, and the second child was taken to a Denver-area hospital and later pronounced dead.

Investigators believe it was not a random incident and that the people who died knew each other, CBI officials said.
