San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Mara Rodriguez said that an investigation was underway after deputies discovered the bodies Tuesday night in El Mirage, Calif., off Highway 395.

The sheriff's department would not confirm whether the people were shot and provided no further information about the cause of the deaths.
Authorities said that location is the only crime scene they are investigating.
