3 found dead, including child, after shooting, house fire in Los Angeles County, authorities say

A married couple and their son were found dead inside a home in Maywood after it caught fire early Saturday morning in what authorities referred to as an apparent domestic violence incident.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said deputies responded to a fire that was reported in the 5000 block of East 61st Street around 2:30 a.m. 

Upon arrival, LASD and LA County Fire Department crews searched the residence. Inside of a bedroom, they found a man and woman in their late 40s and a boy under the age of 10, all suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. 

All three were pronounced dead at the scene. They have yet to be identified publicly, but the LASD said the adults were married and the boy was their biological son.

The LASD called the incident "domestic violence in nature." A gun was found at the scene.

LASD Lt. Eric Arias told reporters at the scene that early indications show the father may have been the shooter.

No additional details were immediately made available.
