On May 15, at 1:29 p.m., Walnut Creek Police Department officers responded to a residence on the 1800 block of Holland Drive to conduct a welfare check. Officers entered the residence and located a deceased male and a deceased female who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Both were residents of the home and determined to be husband and wife.
