Two women found dead in East Palo Alto home in possible murder-suicide

EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Two women were found dead Wednesday morning in East Palo Alto in what police are investigating as a possible murder-suicide.

Officers responded at 9:26 a.m. to a call of a shooting inside a home in the 2200 block of Tuscany Court and arrived to find the women, ages 50 and 57, with gunshot wounds, East Palo Alto police Cmdr. Jeff Liu said.

Menlo Park Fire Protection District crews pronounced the women dead at the scene. Their names are not being released and Liu declined to say anything more about them pending notification of their families of the deaths.

He said there does not appear to be any suspects at large in the case.
