Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating multiple deaths that were uncovered early Monday morning in the Moon Lake area.

The sheriff’s office received a call around 4:54 a.m. reporting multiple shots fired in the area of Banbury Avenue and Adler Street, an email to media from the agency stated. When deputies arrived, they found several bodies inside a home.

“The victims suffered significant injuries,” the email stated.

The number of dead and details surrounding the deaths are not available at this time. Deputies, however, say the ongoing investigation is forcing the closing of roads in the area to traffic. Motorists can anticipate the portion of Banbury Avenue that includes Adler Street to remain closed until sometime Monday afternoon.

Sheriff Chris Nocco said the shooting may involve a drug-related, targeted hit, according to TBO.com.

The agency is asking anyone with information about the crime to call 1-800-706-2488.
