FREDERICA, Del. (AP) - Authorities in Delaware say two people found dead in a parking lot over the weekend were shot to death.

The bodies of a 55-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman were found on Saturday afternoon in a Frederica parking lot, Delaware State Police said in a statement. A handgun was recovered from the scene and the victims had apparent gunshot wounds, the agency added.

The Delaware Division of Forensic Science will perform autopsies to determine the causes and manners of death. The victims’ identities haven’t been released as police notify family members.
