"CHULA VISTA, CA — Firefighters found the bodies of a man and two teenage boys inside a gutted home early Tuesday. Chula Vista Police investigators are calling the deaths an apparent murder-suicide unrelated to the fire. Police believe that the father shot and killed his two teenage sons before setting their Chula Vista home on fire and turning the gun on himself. Suicide notes were found at the home.
"The house fire was reported at 1:37 a.m. Chula Vista firefighters extinguished it at about 2 a.m. Once inside, firefighters discovered the man's body in the hallway and the bodies of two teens, ages 13 and 15, in their bedrooms, police [said].
"Ficacci said investigators waited outside the single-story cul-de-sac home on 3641 Bonita Verde Drive off Sweetwater Road for a search warrant, and they were preparing to go inside at about 10 a.m. He said the investigation likely will take most of the day.
"Neighbor Pat Valdivia described the family to the San Diego Union-Tribune as the `perfect dad and sons.` He said the mother did not live at the house.
"The mother of the two teens arrived at about 8:20 a.m. and talked to the police for a few moments before shouting "No, no, no!" She was driven away in a police vehicle.
"This would be the third murder-suicide in San Diego County since late May."
