Three people were found dead in a Lakeside home Saturday after sheriff officials were called to the residence, Lt. Chris Steffen said.
On Friday at around 11:30 p.m., sheriff's deputies received a call about an assault with a deadly weapon at the 13500 block of interstate 8 Business. Once deputies arrived, they found out that a man may have shot a woman after an argument and both were believed to still be inside the residence.
SWAT was called and eventually made entry into the residence after not getting a response from anyone inside the home. Once inside, deputies found two women and a man, in their late 50s, dead from apparent gunshot wounds, Steffen said.
