Detectives said a woman was shot to death by her live-in boyfriend, who then shot himself twice Wednesday morning.
He initially survived, but later died at an area hospital.
According to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, Heather Dunigan, 26, was shot and killed by Henry Walker Jr., 29, at their home in Pierre Part.
