Husband And Wife Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide In Massachusetts
A Massachusetts husband and wife were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in Kingston.
Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz said a family member found the couple at a home on Elm Street around 11:15 Sunday morning and called police.
When Kingston Police arrived, they said they found the body of a 45-year-old man outside of the home and the body of a 45-year-old woman inside the home.
Both the man and woman had died from apparent gunshot wounds. Kingston Police said it was the result of an apparent domestic incident that resulted in a murder-suicide.
It is unclear how long the couple had been dead before they were found.
“There has been an ongoing investigation for the last few hours,” said Tim Cruz. “We are not releasing names of people because we want to make sure families are notified about what is going on here.”
Police pulled evidence out of the home before driving it off scene.
Cruz was quick to point out that this appeared to be an isolated incident.
“Investigators have found this is not a random act of violence,” said Cruz. “There is no threat to public safety as we stand here right now.”
Neighbors were hesitant to go on-camera for this report but said the husband and wife had a young daughter together. One neighbor said the girl was out of town visiting family when the incident happened.
State Police along with the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office are continuing to investigate.
