Everett Police continue to investigate a shooting that left two people dead and a third injured Friday.

One person is in custody and being questioned in connection to the case.

It happened at about 7 p.m. at a home on 75th Street Southeast.

Neighbors said they heard as many as eleven gunshots, and then saw two vehicles speeding out of the neighborhood. They also said it's a scene they've seen before at this house.

"There's been trouble at this house before," said Stephanie Harvey. "I don't know if it's drugs, stolen goods or what, but it brings bad people to the neighborhood."

Police confirmed, they too, have been to this house before.

KING 5 covered a deadly shooting at the same location back in May of 2011. Back then, neighbors were already frightened and frustrated by the escalating violence on their street. They said Friday's shooting was just the latest example.

Back in 2008, a neighbor told KING 5 that her neighbors started a community watch program specifically because of that house. Seven years later, the signs are still posted.

A short time after the shooting, police took a man into custody in the Forest Park area. They later arrested him, and were questioning him late Friday night.

Detectives haven't yet identified the victims or provided any motive for the shooting.

The person who was injured in the shooting was rushed to a local hospital. No word on their condition.
