Two people dead, one person wounded in Point Loma shooting

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Two people are dead and one person was wounded in a shooting Wednesday in Point Loma, authorities said.

The shooting occurred around 3:55 p.m. in the 3600 block of Zola Street near Point Loma High School, the San Diego Police Department confirmed to FOX 5/KUSI.

When officers arrived at the home, they located three victims shot.

Two of the victims, described as a woman in her 60s and a man in his 30s, were found dead, according to Lt. Jud Campbell with SDPD. One of the bodies was discovered in the side yard, while the other was found in the kitchen area, per police.

The third victim, a woman in her 80s, was found outside the front of the home with serious injuries and taken to a hospital, Campbell said. She is in stable condition.

A shotgun was also found in the front yard, but police did not confirm if that was used in the shooting.

The suspect, described as a 60-year-old man and son of the injured woman, was taken into custody, according to police. He is believed to be a resident of the home and was there when officers arrived to the scene.

There are no other suspects believed to be involved in the shooting.

Authorities believe the victims and suspect are all related.

Multiple people called 911, including the suspect, police said. Campbell added there have been prior calls to the home, but he did not confirm when those calls happened.

Authorities shut down roads in the area during the investigation. As of 7 a.m. Thursday, police remained at the scene, blocking off Zola Street.

FOX 5/KUSI spoke to a Point Loma High School student who was leaving school on his way to wrestling practice when he heard the sound of gunfire.

"I heard gunshots, so I didn't really know what to do at the time, so all I could do was be in shock," witness Miguel Roman-Cruz said. "It took me a while to calm down, but I was all right. The shots sounded like the end of a firework, so there's no whistle, there's just boom."
