PHOENIX — Phoenix police say three people are dead and one person is hurt after an apparent murder-suicide at a home on Sunday afternoon.
Officials were first called to a home near 40th Street and Baseline Road around 4:45 p.m. for reports of a domestic violence incident. The caller reported to police that a man was shooting a gun from inside the home and that multiple people had been struck.
Police located a man and woman, identified as 68-year-old George Chin Ku and 64-year-old Scarlett Shiu-Mei Ku, dead inside the home with gunshot wounds.
Two other men, including 31-year-old Jeremy Jonathan Ku, were also found inside with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a hospital for treatment, but Jeremy died from his injuries.
The surviving victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Investigators believe the shooting occurred during a domestic violence incident between George and his wife, Scarlett. George reportedly shot Scarlett at least once, then fired at his son Jeremy and the other man in the home. After shooting the three victims, George reportedly turned the gun on himself.
The investigation is ongoing, but police say no one else is involved or wanted in connection with this incident.
