The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is investigating what appears to be a homicide-suicide at an Amboy residence.

Deputies responded about 7 p.m. Saturday to 24707 N.E. 419th St., for a report of a possible homicide. Upon arrival, they found the bodies of two males; both appeared to have been fatally shot, according to a news release issued Sunday morning.

One of the males appears to have died from a self-inflicted injury, the news release states.

The investigation is ongoing, according to the sheriff’s office, and the names of the deceased are being withheld until family members have been notified.
