Police say officers arrived to find one man, who appeared to be wearing a mask, dead in the driveway. Another man was dead in the home.
Authorities say at least three other people were injured, and they were trying to determine if any others showed up at local hospitals.
According to police, several men were at the house on Luce when another group arrived, forced their way inside, and started shooting.
Police say the other group returned fire, with dozens of rounds being fired in the house. Authorities believe one man from each group was killed.
Investigators say the shooting is believed to be drug-related, with marijuana and bongs found inside the house.
"A lot of marijuana. I mean, it was set up like a store. It has cases in there like you’d see at a store, at a headshop or at a smoke shop," Sgt. Matthew Brady with the HPD Homicide Division said.
Investigators were speaking with witnesses and reviewing surveillance video. They were still searching for some people, but police say they believe they know who was involved.
At least one neighboring house was hit by gunfire, but police say the residents were not injured.
