Names Released in Murder-Suicide Shooting at Patriot High School

The victims in Wednesday's shooting at a Riverside County high school we're married, according to the Riverside County Coroner's office.

On Thursday, the coroner identified them as Donaciano Aguirre, 64, and his wife, Maria Celia Aguirre, 61. Both lived in Jurupa Valley.

On Wednesday, at 10:40 a.m. police received a 911 call reporting a shooting in the parking lot at Patriot High School, in the Jurupa area of Riverside County.

The shots were heard by a school resource officer. The campus was locked down, and two shooting victims were found in the parking lot. The crime was quickly labeled a murder-suicide, but it was unclear if the shooting victims were related.

Detectives believe Donaciano Aguirre shot his wife and turned the gun on himself. While the homicide investigation continues, there are no other suspects, according to investigators.

What provoked the shooting is still unknown. No students at Patriot High School were injured.
