TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Tucson say a man shot and killed his teenage stepson before turning the gun on himself.

Authorities identified the man and the boy late Thursday as 49-year-old Donald Stanley and 15-year-old Christian Garcia-Sanchez.

Sgt. Pete Dugan said in a news release that the man also wounded his wife. Her injuries appear to be non-life-threatening.



Police say the couple’s 10-year-old son ran from the home after the shooting Thursday and went to a neighbor for help.

A police SWAT team responded and had a robot enter the home.

The robot’s camera showed the suspect dead but his wife still alive.

The teenage boy was found dead in a back bedroom.

Dugan did not disclose a possible motive.
