Sather said the house is a rental.

“We’re all in shock,” he said. “The neighborhood barely has any parties.”

Sather said the people have lived in the home for a while, but there isn’t any suspicious activity.

“We see the kids riding up and down the street a bit,” he said. “There is the odd party once in a while.”
