San Francisco's former top female police officer and her daughter have been shot de@d by her husband in California.

Ex-deputy chief of police Ann Mannix, 65, and daughter Katie, 24, were gunned down by retired police sergeant Kevin, 68, before he turned the weapon on himself Sunday night, October 11.

Deputies who responded to the scene after 5 p.m. found all three de@d inside the home in Marin County, across the bay from San Francisco.

Confirming the de@ths, Chief Derrick Lew wrote a department-wide message saying the agency was sharing the news "with heavy hearts."

He added: "Please keep their family in your prayers. BSU is available to all members who may need it during this difficult time."

Shots were fired in a community called Strawberry Circle, which is an unincorporated area of Strawberry east of Mill Valley, according to a press release.

Police arrived within minutes to the home and reached out to the person who made the initial call. That person had left the home, according to the sheriff's office.

The perimeter around the residence was secured for further investigation.

"There is no known threat to the community," they said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Ann climbed the ranks of the San Francisco Police Department, becoming deputy chief of the Field Operations Bureau in 2018 before taking charge of the Special Operations Bureau in 2019, according to department records.

She also made history as the first woman to serve on the department's SWAT team and eventually lead the unit.

Her husband Kevin retired from the SFPD in June 2018 after serving 27 years on the force.
