PORTLAND, Ore. -- Detectives are investigating the deaths of an elderly husband and wife, found in their Portland home Thursday, as a double homicide, reports CBS affiliate KOIN.

The victims, both 65 years old, have lived in the home for decades, police said. The couple, whose identities have not yet been released, were killed violently, according to police.

Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said their bodies were discovered Thursday at around 12:30 p.m.
