Two men died from gunshot wounds Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19, inside a Huntington Beach apartment after police received a distressed call from inside the home.

Responding to the 2:45 p.m. call, Huntington Beach police discovered two men in their early 20s deceased in the 15700 block of Taft Lane. Officers recovered a handgun at the scene, and based on the initial evidence, they don’t believe there is a suspect on the loose, police spokeswoman Officer Angie Bennett said.

Bennett said police had not ruled out a murder-suicide.

As of late Sunday, police had not released the identities of the deceased.

Neighbors said a family lived in the second-story apartment where the shooting occurred, which sits at the intersection of Reno Circle, near the end of a small cul-de-sac.

The neighborhood is close to Marina High School, the baseball fields of Marina Park and Helen Murphy Branch Library.

Blake McKee, 20, who lives 30 yards from the apartment where the shooting occurred, said the neighborhood is a quiet one that rarely sees police activity. He was surprised that he didn’t hear the gunshots from his home, two buildings down.

“I didn’t hear a thing,” McKee said.

Police investigators remained on the scene on Sunday evening.
