SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Two people were found dead in a Point Loma home Monday night in what San Diego Police are calling a murder-suicide.
According to SDPD Lt. Jud Campbell, a shooting was reported at around 7:30 p.m. at a home on the 3400 block of Lowell Street, just west of Liberty Station.
Officers arrived to find a man and woman “down with gunshot wounds inside of their residence.” Despite life-saving measures, the man and woman were pronounced dead at the scene.
