Investigators said police responded following a report of shots fired about 3:30 p.m.

One man, later identified as the son, was on the front lawn along with the body of the father when officers arrived.

The suspect was taken into custody and police made their way inside the home, where the mother was found. Both the father and mother were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police continue to investigate what led to the shooting. The area was likely to remain closed off for seven or eight hours, Lt. Mark Hudson said.

The killings are the 14th and 15th homicides investigated by Fresno police in 2022.
