Officials said the house was in an isolated area located on a dead-end road.

"We don't know whether it's a robbery, a target, we don't know at this point." Floyd said WSYX reported. "Something brought somebody to a dead-end street."

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations and the Madison County Sheriff's Office are assisting West Jefferson police in the investigation.
