Police cruisers converge on a home in a Paradise Hills neighborhood of San Diego where multiple people have died, including children after a shooting
A 31-year-old man, a 29-year-old woman, and a 3-year-old child were found dead inside the home. A 5-year-old and a 9-year-old died at a local hospital.
Another child, 11, was injured and is at a local hospital in surgery, confirmed police. The extent of the injuries is unknown at this time.
Officers responded shortly before 7 a.m. to the 2100 block of Flintridge Drive after a 911 call from the residence and another call from a neighboring relative, San Diego Police Department said.
There was no communication with the 911 caller, “however, the dispatcher could hear some arguing in the background,” police said.
The relative who lives nearby also reported hearing an argument and what he believed to be the sound of a nail gun.
The officers arrived at the scene about a minute later.
After receiving no answer at the front door, they went around to the back of the house and looked in a window.
“They could see a child down and covered in blood,” a police source said. The officers then shattered a front window and entered the home, where they found six people who had been shot, five of them fatally.
The suspect is one of the dead, police said. The adult male had been shot in the head, investigators said, adding that his relationship to the family was unclear.
The shooting may have stemmed from a domestic incident, authorities said.
