The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says they were called to an assault in progress on Acadia Court around 5:00 a.m. 

When they got to the scene, they found a man and woman in the road with serious injuries. EMS workers gave emergency care, but both were pronounced dead at the scene. 

The suspect in the double homicide was quickly found by deputies close to the scene and was arrested.
