Text: [¶23] After Stephanie ran from Pena's home to her aunt's home, she phoned 911 and talked to dispatch. She informed dispatch that her father had shot two people and that, as far as she knew, he had left the area. Stephanie mentioned that the gun involved was a shotgun. Sheriff's Deputy Doyle was the first officer to respond to the scene. He entered Pena's mobile home and did a brief inspection to assure that there was no one in the home, especially anyone possibly needing medical attention. Doyle noted that both victims were dead and that no one else was in the home. Doyle then retreated outside and requested dispatch to send an investigator. [¶24] When Investigator Thompson arrived at the scene approximately twenty minutes later, Thompson entered the home to briefly inspect the scene. He noted rifle caliber shell casings on the floor and the two dead bodies. Thompson then retreated outside. Doyle stayed by the front door during Thompson's entry. Sometime later that evening three members of the Park County Prosecuting Attorney's office arrived and each member was individually escorted briefly through the home by Thompson. The home was then secured, and a search warrant was obtained.
