A woman and her son who were found shot early Monday morning in a Linda Vista home have been identified, according to the San Diego Police Department.

Just after 3:15 a.m., police received a report of a double shooting at a home on the 2200 block of Crandall Drive, just west of State Route 163. Investigating officers discovered a 46-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.

Police have identified the woman as Hue Le, the mother of the 28-year-old man identified as Justin Le.

The officers rendered first aid until the arrival of San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel, who brought the pair to a nearby hospital.

Hue Le died from her injuries, and Justin Le died a day later from what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries, SDPD said.

SkyRanger 7 captured video of the neighborhood, showing at least a half-dozen SDPD vehicles on Crandall Drive just before 7 a.m.

Homicide detectives were called to the scene and are investigating the case as an apparent murder-suicide. They are continuing with their investigation.

Details on what led up to the shooting remain unclear.

SDPD said there is no threat to the public and that there are "no outstanding suspects."
