Tucson police are investigating a shooting incident where a man and a teen were found dead at an eastside home Thursday.

According to Sgt. Pete Dugan, officers received a call at 12:53 p.m. reporting a shooting at a home in the 10400 block of east Windstorm Drive near Speedway and Houghton.

The call came in after a child that lives in the home ran to a neighbor about the incident.

After attempting to make contact with the people inside the home, TPD's Bomb Unit used their robot to enter the residence. Using the robot's camera, a man was found dead with gunshot wounds.

A woman was then found on the ground showing signs of movement. Police then decided to enter the home after seeing that she was alive. She is being treated for serious injuries.

Police then located a dead male teen who had signs of gunshot trauma.

Police have confirmed that the victims are family members.

Homicide investigators are now investigating.
