GULFPORT -- Police discovered the bodies of a couple at their apartment on Pass Road on Sunday morning.
Police said a woman went to check on her parents at the Gulf Mist apartments near Hardy Court and she discovered their bodies just after 11 a.m. Harrison County Coroner Gary Hargrove identified the victims as David Moore, 68, and his wife, Shirley Moore, 69. Investigators said it appears the couple died of gunshot wounds.
“It’s under investigation, but from all appearances of the forensics we have now, it appears that this is a murder-suicide,” Hargrove said.
Gulfport Police Capt. Ken Brown said notes were found to relatives, which lead them to believe the case may be a murder-suicide. The couple had been experiencing severe health problems, he said.
“There were some notes from the deceased individuals about what all they had gone through and what they wanted,” Brown said.
Police released no further details about the case Sunday and said they were still investigating.
