Four people were found dead inside of a home in San Mateo’s Sugarloaf neighborhood Monday morning after authorities were called to the scene for a welfare check, police said.
San Mateo police say the home is located in the 4100 block of Alameda de las Pulgas near Fernwood St.
Police say a man, woman and two young children were found dead in the home.
The two young children are 4-year-old twin boys, sources told the ABC7 I-Team.
“Unfortunately, we located four deceased people inside the home. One adult male. One adult female and two children,” said Jerami Surratt, public information officer with the San Mateo Police Department.
Residents say this is a quiet, suburban, safe neighborhood. They never thought something like this would happen.
“Streets closed between 41st and 42nd, and I am going, ‘that is my area,'” said Donnita McDevitt, who was on a routine walk around the block when she saw the police tape.
“It is quiet, safe, I walk it every other day at least, and this breaks my heart,” she said.
