At the scene
Danny Savage, BBC North of England correspondent
Emergency services were alerted to a serious incident here at a semi-detached house this morning and police have been on the scene ever since.
Forensics officers are coming and going all the time.
There's been speculation about what has happened here - there was even a suggestion of a shooting at one point, prompting police to say no guns were involved.
Officers won't be drawn on the circumstances, so there's lots of unanswered questions as the inquiry goes on.
A large area around Gregg House Road remains cordoned off as that investigation continues.
