Two people were killed in a shooting early Sunday inside an Orland Park neighborhood home.

Officers responded to the scene in the 8500 block of 145th Place where they found two people shot inside the home about 1:20 a.m., Illinois State Police said.

Police said the two victims were involved in an argument that escalated to an exchange of gunfire. The victims were found dead in the home, police said.

They were later identified by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as two men, ages 36 and 37. The older man, Jonathan Paska, died of multiple gunshot wounds. The other man was identified as Michael Lafrey.

No arrests were made. No other details were provided.
