Campbell Police are currently investigating a domestic violence related attempted homicide/ suicide.
On August 1, 2020, at 7:26 PM, the Campbell Police Department received two 911 hang-up calls from a residence in the Timber Cove Mobile Home Community on Timber Cove Drive. When Campbell Police Dispatchers attempted to call back, a female answered, and dispatchers heard a disturbance before being disconnected again.
When officers arrived, they assisted two children who were fleeing from the residence. Shortly after, officers heard gunshots being fired from inside the mobile home.
An armed adult male exited the residence. When he saw officers he retreated towards the home. Officers then heard one gunshot.
Officers were able to contact the original female caller on the phone. She told officers that she had been shot and was unable to escape the residence. Officers were able to quickly coordinate a rescue of the female who had been shot multiple times. She was transported to a local hospital and is currently being treated.
During the rescue, officers saw an adult male in the carport with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The male was pronounced dead at the scene.
At this time there are no outstanding suspects related to this incident and the scene has been secured. Campbell Police Detectives and, the Crime Scene Unit will be continuing the investigation.
