Father and twin sons, 10, shot in ‘murder-suicide’ at Canoga Park

A father and his two twin sons have been found dead in a suspected murder-suicide during a family gathering.

The man and the 10-year-old boys died at a house in the 800 block of Owensmouth Avenue in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Canoga Park, cops said.

Officers were called to the scene at around 7.15pm on Sunday and found distraught relatives outside the property.

“That’s just really sad. Two little kids and a dad. That’s a family. Nobody deserves that,” a woman at the scene told ABC7 Eyewitness News.

Investigators spent hours processing the scene, carrying evidence from the home as they worked to reconstruct the moments leading up to the deaths.

The house sits across from Lanark Park, where a heavy police presence drew the attention of families and other parkgoers throughout the day.

KTLA reported that the incident may have occurred during a family gathering. Cops have not released any more details or confirmed the circumstances leading up to the incident.

Throughout the day, loved ones and neighborhood residents stopped by, many hoping to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

“I felt like, even though we might not see their family, we thought that they needed some prayer and some thought, because, like, I don’t know, I know me personally, whether I know them or not, I would want to pray for someone’s healing and just overall as a person, because that’s really sad and I don’t wish that upon anybody,” the woman said.
