''Police tape blocks off a Prince Rupert home after four people were found dead Tuesday night. (Carolina de Ryk/CBC)
RCMP have launched a homicide investigation after four people were found dead in a Prince Rupert, B.C., home Tuesday night.
Police say the discovery was made in a suburban neighbourhood in the 100 block of Silverside Drive — a newer area on the east side of the North Coast city, that is home to about 12,000 people — at around 9 p.m. PT on June 13.
Const. Brody Hemrich says numerous personnel are still at the scene, but investigators do not believe there are any outstanding suspects or risk to the public.
When CBC News visited the property Wednesday afternoon, the yard and residence were behind police tape, as were two vehicles parked in the driveway and one on the street.
The home is less than one kilometre away from an elementary and high school.
The victims' names are not being released.''
