Authorities are investigating the tragic deaths of a family found fatally shot in their San Diego-area home on Wednesday morning. The victims, identified by the San Diego Police Department as Amy Voight, 54, David Voight, 56, and their 13-year-old daughter, were found with gunshot wounds. A weapon was discovered at the scene, and the cause and manner of death are being determined by the county medical examiner’s office. A neighbor discovered the bodies and called for help, leading to the discovery of the incident. Amy Voight’s father, Gerald Austin, shared details with the San Diego Union-Tribune, explaining that David Voight had served in the U.S. Navy as an officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. Amy Voight worked with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service as a digital forensic examiner. Gerald said his daughter had a close relationship with David and believed the violence may have been linked to his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition that can develop after exposure to traumatic events. PTSD can cause symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and emotional distress. Amy Voight’s mother, Mary Austin, told Fox 5 that David’s PTSD symptoms had worsened recently. She described him as “fidgety” and visibly troubled. She and her husband had encouraged their daughter to seek help for David, but they claimed they were unable to get assistance without an appointment. However, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) denied these claims, stating that it could not comment on the case due to privacy laws but emphasizing that VA facilities provide same-day mental health care for veterans who request it. Quinn Slaven, a VA press secretary, said that the allegations about VA services were inaccurate. The deaths have brought attention to the high rates of PTSD among veterans. According to the VA, approximately seven out of every 100 veterans will experience PTSD in their lifetime, with a higher rate—29%—among those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The VA also notes that deployment significantly increases the risk of developing PTSD. As the investigation continues, the family’s story highlights the challenges faced by veterans and their loved ones in accessing mental health care.
