Neighbors of a couple found dead in a home in Vista Sunday say the two victims were retired teachers and were "really friendly People."
A man and a woman were found on the 800 block of Warmlands Avenue Sunday afternoon shortly after 1 p.m.
The victims were identified Tuesday as 76-year-old Alfredo Astorga and 69-year-old Della Astorga.
Deputies say the couple's son called 911 before 1 p.m. Sunday to report a shooting inside the home where the three lived. A gun was found near the bodies.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO) confirmed Tuesday the couple died in a murder-suicide. Investigators said Della died from homicidal gunshot wounds and Alfredo from suicidal gunshot wounds.
As the investigation continued Monday, friends and family were seen dropping off flowers at the home and paying their respects to the couple.
"I feel really bad and sad. It's sad to me to know he won't be here anymore," neighbor Edgar Rodriguez said. He's known the couple for 16 years. "And especially the way that happened, that's so bad."

Rodriques said that just a few hours before the incident, he and the male victim were talking about a trip to Cuba the couple had planned.
