No arrests were made, and authorities have not yet released a possible motive.

Police said Rhodd's parents and younger brother were also at the home but were not hurt.

"Typically in these type of situations they are usually retaliatory, so we will be looking into that," Sgt. Greg Pinkins said. "At this time, it would only be speculation."
