ANAHEIM, Calif. – An investigation was launched after two men were found dead inside an Anaheim hotel room late Wednesday night. 

What we know:

The incident happened at the Hotel Pepper Tree located in the 2300 block of West Lincoln Avenue, at the intersection of South Gilbert Street. 

Officials with the Anaheim Police Department said officers were called to the scene after the father of one of the victims requested a welfare check. 

When officers arrived just before 10 p.m., they found the two victims inside the hotel room. Hotel staff confirmed they had checked in two days prior. 

Authorities said it is being investigated as a double suicide. 

Hotel operations continue to operate as usual. 

What they're saying:

"There were bullet holes, but they did not pierce our wall. The officers looked in our room because we share a wall," said hotel guest Sophia Ortiz, who was preparing to visit Disneyland just a few miles away when the investigation unfolded overnight.

"I’m surprised because usually I expect to see people with the costumes that they wear in Disneyland waiting for an Uber, you know, not something serious," said Amir Aboutalabi, a vendor for the neighboring Hatam Persian Restaurant. 
 

What we don't know:

The names of the victims have not been released.
