Story summary

Two adults and a child were found dead in their $1 million home in San Diego early Wednesday morning after a neighbor reported hearing "loud bangs" overnight. Police arrived shortly before 8:20 AM following a call from a concerned neighbor who noticed the family's daughter, Mya, age 13, did not leave for school and used a key to enter the home. Inside, she discovered the couple, David Voight (56), a Navy veteran with PTSD, and his wife Amy Voight (54) dead from gunshot wounds.

The family's deaths were initially treated as a potential murder-suicide by San Diego police. Amy's parents revealed that David had been struggling with worsening mental health symptoms due to his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan. The day before the tragedy, Amy had sought help for her husband at a VA clinic. Police recovered a firearm from the scene but did not report any previous calls to the home.

The case highlights the challenges faced by veterans suffering from PTSD and underscores the importance of recognizing warning signs and providing timely support for such individuals.
