DENVER (AP) — Police in Denver on Austin CaldwellSunday were investigating a double homicide at a former hotel that is being used to shelter homeless people.

The victims, a man and a woman, were found Saturday night at about 9:20 p.m. in one of the shelter’s residential rooms, said Officer Kurt Barnes with Denver police media relations.

Barnes did not know if the victims were residents and the manner of their death was not immediately released. No arrests had been made.
