2 brothers shot dead in Taunton

TAUNTON, Mass. -- The police are looking for suspects after two brothers were shot to death in Taunton.

The men were found yesterday after officers responded to reports of gunshots coming from a Somerset Avenue apartment. Police say a 4-year-old child and a 2-year-old child were also found at the scene - physically uninjured - and are now in the care of family members.

The brothers were not immediately identified but are reportedly in their 20s.

Taunton Police Chief Raymond O'Berg says it appears the victims were targeted, but would not comment on whether investigators had a motive.

Neighbors said the men had lived in the apartment for about a year.
