San Francisco Police Department retired Deputy Chief Ann Mannix, 65, and her 24-year-old daughter Katherine were killed Sunday afternoon at their home on Strawberry Circle in the Strawberry neighborhood near Mill Valley, Marin County. Authorities identified the suspected shooter as Mannix's husband, former SFPD Sgt. Kevin Mannix, 68, in what investigators described as a double murder-suicide. Marin County Sheriff's deputies responded to a 911 call reporting gunfire shortly after 5 p.m. and found three deceased individuals inside the residence.

Authorities confirmed no ongoing public threat, with autopsies scheduled for Tuesday and motive not yet released.
