A sheriff's deputy has turned himself in after allegedly fatally shooting a married couple at a home in California, authorities say.
The Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputy was off-duty when he is alleged to have committed the double homicide early Wednesday at a home in Dublin before fleeing the scene, authorities said. The sheriff's office said the suspected murder weapon is the deputy's firearm, which they were working to recover after he disposed of it in a rural area.
"Chief Holmes personally talked the suspect into surrendering and spent about 45 minutes on the phone with him to get him to surrender peacefully," Alameda County Lt. Ray Kelly told reporters during the briefing. "It's a great loss for our community, and it's even more disheartening to find out that it was one of our own that actually was the trigger person behind this tragic incident," Holmes said.
Kelly said they are investigating a motive in the shooting and the relationship between Williams and the victims.MORE: Off-duty female NYPD officer charged with murder for shooting woman after finding her with partner, police say
