MODESTO – Authorities closed a section of Inyo Avenue as they investigated the deaths of a man and a woman Thursday morning.

Authorities closed off Inyo Avenue between Gutherie and Tulsa Streets early Thursday morning for a report of a person shot in a home. A man ran across the street to a neighbor’s home for help shortly after 5:00am saying he had been injured in the shooting. According to Sergeant Luke Schwartz with the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office, the incident appeared domestic in nature.

Crisis negotiators and SWAT teams responded to assist in the incident, while several neighboring homes were evacuated out of an abundance of caution, Sergeant Schwartz said.
