FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Fresno County Sheriff's Office has called off its search for a silver pickup truck that reportedly left the scene of a 'violent' incident in Fresno County.

Two adults were found dead inside.

Deputies say a child was also taken to the hospital. The child was last listed in critical condition.

Investigators added there is no danger to the community at this time.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.



The Fresno County Sheriff's Office says there is no threat to public safety following a double homicide in Fresno County on Wednesday night.

It was around 7:40 PM when deputies said they got a call for help.

Police scanner audio details the moments that followed, which are graphic and may be disturbing to some parties.

"(Reporting party) screaming on the line, saying someone broke into his house with a gun," a dispatcher said. "Can hear children crying. (Reporting party) frantic. Not answering questions."

Aerial video shows the home on Dunlap Road near Coach Road in Miramonte, where sheriff's deputies responded to what they are calling a "violent" incident.

"When we arrived on scene, we found two adults that were deceased and a child who suffered a serious injury and was subsequently transported to the hospital, and there are some other family members here on scene," Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said on Wednesday.



Zanoni said the area is typically quiet, and he said those two adults were in their 30s and 40s. The child was just 11 years old.

That child went to Community Regional Medical Center, most recently listed in critical condition.

It is unclear what led up to the homicides, but the person who called for help said he was injured with a knife. He also seemed to describe a possible suspect.

"One male in an all-black puff jacket with gray jeans, black boots, black gloves," the dispatcher said.

More than 12 hours later, the investigation was still underway on Thursday.

Deputies were blocking Dunlap Road, and aerial video showed deputies walking around the home with a canine.



Action News also saw a "crime scene unit" arriving at the home around 1 PM.

While the sheriff's office has been interviewing the other people inside that home last night, there is still no update on a potential motive.

The sheriff's says it will provide another update on Friday.
