RENO, Nev. (AP) — Two children and a man have been found shot to dead in a northwest Reno home.

Police say no one else was in the home when the shootings occurred late Saturday afternoon and they were not searching for any suspects.

Investigators were mum about the case and didn't comment on a possible motive.

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (http://on.rgj.com/1zdEQyB ) professional photographer Ashley Deane identified the deceased as her children, 2-year-old Austin and 7-year-old Jacob, and her husband Rob Deane.

A group calling itself Friends of Ashley Deane says a candlelight vigil is planned for Nov. 16 in Reno to show support for her.

Neighbors described hearing the screams of an unidentified woman holding a child outside the home and yelling, "Help him, help him."
