SANTA ANA, Calif. (KTLA) — An investigation is underway after two people were found dead in a storage facility, a third person was rushed to the hospital and a bloody medieval-style spear was discovered at the scene Thursday in Santa Ana, California.

Officers with the Santa Ana Police Department responded to a disturbance call at a privately owned storage facility. The facility is typically used for personal and business storage, NewsNation local affiliate KTLA learned.

A man who wished to remain anonymous said he saw police arrive just moments before he saw a woman who said she had heard gunshots. As he approached Unit E, he saw an officer throwing a spear out of the unit.  

The man, who did not want to be identified, said he also saw an older man who was dead inside the facility and a younger woman who was not moving.  

KTLA later learned that the young woman was also dead.  

“Just a nice little dude. He’s been here a long time, just a sweetheart,” the man said of the older male victim. “He had a bad back, and every time I saw him, he was just nice. I’d talk with him for a couple of minutes, same with his niece. I think it’s his niece, I don’t know.”  

He added that the older male victim had told him once that he was an expert in medieval swords.  

Another man, who didn’t appear to be moving, was taken from the unit on a stretcher. Police said that person was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.  

It is unclear at this point if that individual is a suspect in the double homicides or another victim.

According to the man who spoke on the condition of anonymity, he never noticed any tension or animosity between the three people involved in the grisly scene.  

Detectives have not said anything about a possible motive for the killings yet.
