Hayward man dead, parents wounded in shooting

A 38-year-old man is dead, and his parents were wounded in a shooting at a Hayward home, police said.

A 71-year-old woman called 911 Sunday evening to report that her son had shot her and her 70-year-old husband, then himself, at their home in the 26000 block of Gading Road, according to police.

Responding officers found the woman and her husband suffering from gunshot wounds. They were taken to a hospital, where they remain in critical condition.

The couple’s adult son, who also lived at the home, was found unresponsive with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities said there were no outstanding suspects and the shooting appears to be an isolated incident.

A motive has not been determined.
