Police: Elderly relatives dead in murder-suicide

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say two elderly relatives who suffered a variety of long-term health problems are dead after a murder-suicide.

Police say the man and woman were found dead Saturday morning inside a rowhouse in east Baltimore. Police believe the man shot the woman in the head before fatally shooting himself, also in the head.

Police haven’t identified the pair but say they were between 75 and 85 years old and suffering from long-term illnesses. Investigators don’t believe anyone else was involved in the shooting.
