RICHLAND COUNTY (WACH) -- Officials say two people have been found shot to death in a northeast Richland County home.

Deputies with the Richland County Sheriff's Department say they were called to 100 Marbun Road, near Alpine Road, around 11:15 a.m. Monday.

Officials say they arrived to find the 24-year-old woman and 28-year-old man dead. Both victims, husband and wife, died from gunshot wounds according to investigators.

The mother of one of the victims discovered the bodies Monday morning.

Deputies say there was no sign of forced entry and they did found a weapon at the scene. There's no word whether it was the gun used in the deaths.

Investigators continue to look into the case and say they have not been called to the house before. However, they say there has been a recent history of domestic violence.

Richland County, SC (WLTX) - Richland County Coroner Gary Watts has released the names of the husband and wife who died in an apparent murder-suicide.

The killings took place at a home on Marbun Road in Northeast Richland County late Sunday evening or early Monday morning.

Deputies and Watts say 28-year-old Joseph Jarrad shot 23-year-old Amanda Jarrad multiple times in the back. Investigators say he then shot himself in the head.

Investigators believe some type of domestic dispute led up to the shooting.
