TURTLE CREEK, Pa. (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania say the shooting deaths of a man and woman near Pittsburgh are believed to have been a murder-suicide.
Allegheny County officials say police officers were called shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday to a home in the borough of Turtle Creek and found both individuals with gunshot wounds to the head.
Lt. Andrew Schurman of the county police homicide unit investigators believe the man shot the woman before turning the weapon on himself.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office identified them Tuesday evening as 43-year-old Daniel Connelly and 34-year-old Sarah Villarreal.
A ruling on the cause and manner of their deaths is pending further investigation.
