Police were called to the scene at about 6:00 a.m., police said. 

Inside the house, they found both victims stabbed and took a man into custody.

"It's believed to be domestic in nature at this time," said Patrick Burke, assistant chief with the Metropolitan Police Department told NBC4. No other suspects were being sought, he told the station.

Police identified the suspect as 56-year-old Bradford Nelson Elliot. He was arrested and charged on suspicion of armed murder.
