Neighbors told KDKA-TV that they saw the family outside playing hours before lights and sirens packed the street.
"I saw a guy coming out with a brown bag. Then, later on, I saw a gray tote being brought out. And that was it," Tiffany Gasch said.
Toys were left outside the apartment, leaving many wondering what happened.
"It's sad, it's devastating," Gasch said.
KDKA-TV was told the couple involved normally keeps to themselves and were enjoying the evening before taking the kids in for the night. Those who live nearby also claim the neighborhood is known for illegal activity, warning that drugs are not uncommon.
So far, no charges have been filed.
