"All Players Accounted For" In Probable Murder/Suicide

"FAIRFIELD, CA — Two Fairfield residents were killed Thursday evening after a shooting inside a north Fairfield home that police said may have been a murder-suicide.

"Fairfield police officers responded to the 300 block of Tulip Street, just north of Air Base Parkway, at around 6:30 p.m., after one of the home's residents called 911 to report the shooting, said Fairfield police Lt. Greg Hurlbut.

"According to police, one of the residents was walking into the home when he heard the sound of a gunshot and discovered the two bodies, one lying on the floor and another on the couch. Two siblings who also live in the residence were reportedly in the home when the shooting occurred, Hurlbut said.

"Both individuals, a male and a female, were pronounced dead when police arrived minutes later.

"Two of the three children, ages 17 to 20, sat on the curb in front of the two-toned partial brick house, while another sat inside a patrol car as officers began their investigation. A five-home section of Tulip Street was cordoned off with crime scene tape as investigators began arriving to the neighborhood.

"Hurlbut said both residents suffered gunshot wounds and that one of the individual's wounds may have been self-inflicted. He went on to say that police were not currently searching for a suspect in the shooting, and that there did not appear to be any danger to the Fairfield community, but he would not officially rule it a murder-suicide.

"Hurlbut said a handgun found inside the home is believed to be the weapon used in the shooting.

"`We do have all the players accounted for,` Hurlbut said, noting that everyone inside the home at the time of the shooting was either deceased or being interviewed by officers."
