Three family members found dead in suspected Mill Valley murder-suicide

Ann Mannix, 65, her husband Kevin, 68, and their daughter Katie, 24, were found dead at their home in Mill Valley, in California's Bay Area.

The Marin County Sheriff's Office said its preliminary investigation pointed to a suspected murder-suicide by a male gunman.

A family friend said Ann had spoken about problems in her marriage, though the friend did not know the couple to be estranged.

Ann was a former San Francisco police leader, and a relative described her as someone who helped women in the department.

Katie was studying to become a nurse and, according to her cousin, had hoped to follow her older sister into the profession.

The deaths have left the family and friends grieving the loss of both women and Kevin.

The sheriff's office has described its findings as preliminary.
