An unidentified 35-year-old woman was also found shot in the home. She is in critical condition and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

According to police, the 14-year-old student, James "JJ" Hurtado, was last seen alive with Huston.

Huston was arrested in December 2009 for unlawful possession of a firearm.

At this time, Huston is the sole suspect for the deaths. The incident has been deemed a murder-suicide.
