A house in San Bruno erupted into flames Friday afternoon following a shooting at the location, authorities said.

The incident happened in the area of Rosewood Drive just west of Interstate Highway 280 around 3 p.m. The San Bruno Police Department said officers responded to a shooting before the fire, and a 31-year-old man was taken to the hospital, where he later died. 

During a search of the home, police said they discovered human remains.

Firefighters used multiple ladder trucks to pour water on the fire, and smoke could be seen for miles.

Police have not said if there are any suspects, but said it’s a criminal investigation and the incident appears to be isolated. 

The San Bruno Fire Department will investigate the origin of the fire, while the San Bruno Police Department’s Investigative Services Section is leading the criminal investigation. 

The identities of the two who died have not been released.
