Armstrong County officials said a husband killed his wife and then took his own life in an apparent murder suicide at their home in Cowanshannock early Saturday.
Coroner Robert Bower identified the victims as Holly Goldstrohm, 44, and Harold "Butch" Goldstrohm Jr., 47, both of Rural Valley.
Bower said Holly Goldstrohm called Armstrong 911 around 2 a.m. to report a domestic dispute.
When state police responded to their mobile home along Route 85 shortly after the call, they found both victims dead on the back porch, according to Bower.
State police said both died from gunshot wounds. They resided there as husband and wife, police said.
Bower said the couple had grown children and lived alone in the residence.
An autopsy of both showed that Harold Goldstrohm shot Holly Goldstrohm and then shot himself, Bower said. Both died of single gunshots to the head, he said.
