A man accused of shooting two women at a home in Lemon Grove Wednesday afternoon has been detained by San Diego County Sheriff's deputies.
At around 12:30 p.m., the sheriff's department tweeted a warning for residents along the 7400 block of Central Avenue, near New Jersey Avenue, to "stay inside, lock your doors."
Deputies confirmed they received a call about a shooting. When they arrived at the home they found two deceased women and located a man who had non-life threatening injuries.
Once police questioned witnesses they learned the suspect had a former relationship with a woman who lived at the residence.
Deputies searched the area for the suspect and, with assistance from a helicopter, located and detained him, SDSO said.
The two victims have not been identified, and the detained man was taken to a local hospital for treatment, SDSO said.
SDSO Lt. Thomas Seiver did not confirm any witness accounts, including that of a woman who said her ex-boyfriend showed up at her home and shot her two teenage daughters.
