A man and his wife are dead in a shooting authorities believe to be a case of domestic dispute-related murder-suicide.
York-Poquoson Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Coventry area of York County at around 6:18 p.m. Sunday, according to a Facebook post from YPSO.
There, deputies found a man, 52, and his wife, 47, inside the home with gunshot wounds. The man was dead when officers arrived but the female was taken to Riverside Regional Hospital where she later died.
Authorities said investigators believe the man shot the woman then turned the gun to himself.
Authorities declined to identify the couple, and said they will not be releasing their identities.
