Danville Police are investigating a possible murder-suicide in the 100 block of Charles Towne Drive.
Police officers were called to the home at 7:32 p.m. Friday on a report that a man and a woman were found dead.
“Preliminary findings suggest that sometime this afternoon the male resident of the home shot his wife and then shot himself,” a police department news release said. Police have identified the couple as Charles Edward Ricketts, 77, and Rose Harper Ricketts, 74, according to the news release.
The police investigation is continuing.
