CARROLLTON, Ga. -- A Carroll County couple were found shot to death in their home, and investigators say the alleged shooter may be a relative.

Atlanta police called Carroll County sheriff’s investigators late Wednesday night after a man, Daniel Buckner, reportedly confessed during a traffic stop in Atlanta to killing the couple. Atlanta police said Buckner had weapons in his vehicle.

Deputies went to the home on Peek Drive in Carrollton. According to investigators, deputies standing outside the home saw one of the bodies. After entering, deputies found the other body. The victims’ names were not released.

Buckner is being held in Atlanta on murder charges. Carroll County Sheriff's Capt. Shane Taylor said there were "possible family ties" between Buckner and the victims.

The couple's neighbors were shocked when they heard about the deaths.

"Yeah, being next door, it's real scary. You have kids standing around, too, it's real scary," said neighbor Carl Peele.
