Police found the body of a man by a car outside the home at 470 Echo Ave., at around 2:30 p.m., said Const. Lea-Anne Dunlop, a spokeswoman for the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP.

"I can say that the address and as well the individual victims are known to police," she said.

The coroner and the RCMP's Integrated Homicide Investigation Team were on the scene Friday night but they've not revealed much detail of the incident — including no word on a weapon or how the men were injured.

Witnesses said two people — a man and a woman — were taken by police officers from the scene after the incident.

Dunlop said there were arrests made in the area but couldn't confirm
whether they were related to the incident.

"While it is in the early stages of this investigation, it does not appear to be a random act," she said.

She would not reveal the conditions of the two injured men, who were being treated in hospital, or the nature of their injuries.

"The local community should be aware that they will see an influx of police in the area as this investigation begins to unfold," Dunlop said.

The two injured people were rushed to hospital under police escort, one with serious injuries.

Three ambulances that were dispatched to Echo Avenue went to a hospital in Chilliwack.

The entire area was blocked off while the homicide investigators and the coroner tried to piece together what happened.

Neighbours told CBC News an elderly man lived in the home and had roommates.

Property records show the owner of the home, who is of Polish descent, bought the place in 1985, and it is now assessed at $324,000.

Harrison is famous for its hot springs and nearby Harrison Lake, both popular tourist destinations.
