An 18-year-old has been arrested for allegedly killing two of his family members following an argument inside a California home, according to police.
The Elk Grove Police Department responded around 5:35 a.m. Monday to a report of a possible shooting at a home on the 8200 block of Triplefin Way, roughly 16 miles south of downtown Sacramento.

When officers arrived, they found two men — a 51-year-old and a 19-year-old — dead at the scene.
“While the circumstances were initially unclear, detectives later determined the shooting stemmed from a family argument,” officials stated.
Investigators identified 18-year-old Noah Battaglia as the suspect. He had left the scene before officers arrived but was located about two hours later at a residence in South Sacramento.
Battaglia was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on two counts of homicide. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office will release the names of the victims after official identification.
