3 bodies found at burning Oakland home
A police and FBI investigation is underway into the deaths of three people who were found early Friday at the scene of a house fire in a quiet Oakland neighborhood.
A woman, a San Jose resident, has been detained and was being interviewed by investigators in connection with the deaths, Oakland police Lt. Dom Arotzarena told KNTV.
“We are still in the early stages of this investigation,” he told reporters at the scene.
Few details have been released about the incident, which occurred at about 12:20 a.m. in the 9400 block of Dunbar Drive, according to the Oakland Police Department.
Someone called police after hearing multiple gunshots and seeing a man down in the street. The man was dead.
When officers arrived at the neighborhood, they found two women with gunshot wounds inside the two-story home. KNTV reported the women, who were dead, had also been stabbed.
According to the Oakland Fire Department, there was a blaze in the home’s garage.
The FBI was assisting police and collecting forensic evidence, Arotzarena told the news station.
