Virginia Beach, VA: Beach police ID victims in domestic murder-suicide

VIRGINIA BEACH
Police have identified two people found dead in a Timberlake home Thursday morning and are calling their deaths a murder-suicide.
The victims are Judith K. Osborne, 66, and David S. Osborne, 78, both of the 4000 block of Barkleaf Drive in Virginia Beach, according to a news release from police. They both died of gunshot wounds, police said.
The shooting was the result of a domestic issue, police said. David Osborne shot his wife and then himself, said Officer Jimmy Barnes, a police spokesman.
An officer discovered the Osborne's bodies inside their home shortly before noon Thursday after receiving a request that someone check on their welfare. They have adult children, Barnes said.
This is the sixth murder-suicide reported in South Hampton Roads since early December.
