What started as a response to a house fire in Maywood led to the discovery of three people, including a child, all dead of gunshot wounds inside the burning home.<\/p>\n
Firefighters were called to a home near the intersection of East 61st Street and Alamo Avenue sometime around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. There, they were given notice that there may be people in the burning home, so crews began to search.<\/p>\n
Upon searching through the house, firefighters found three people \u2013 a man, a woman and a young boy \u2013 all dead of gunshot wounds inside a bedroom. The adults were described as being in their late 40s and the child was described as a boy around the age of 6 or 7 years old, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n
The deceased were a family, with the adults being married and the boy being their son, LASD said. The department said the case \u201cappears to be domestic violence in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
Law enforcement did not release the names of the gunshot victims. Investigators located a gun at the scene.<\/p>\n
Details on what led up to the shooting remain under investigation. There is no threat to the public, LASD assured.<\/p>\n
