They had not been previously known to the police, they said.
An autopsy was to be conducted on Sunday.
Investigators are working on the assumption of a personal motive and do not see any threat to the wider public.
A spokesman said earlier that police were assuming a single gunman was behind the killings.
The police were out in force and cordoned off a large area around the crime scene in front of the three-storey building.
They said investigations at the scene had largely been completed by Sunday afternoon.
The area is a residential estate with several apartment buildings near a swimming pool.
