Cabot, AR: Deaths of Ark. couple may be murder-suicide

CABOT, Ark. (AP) — Authorities have identified a man and a woman who were found dead in their home in Cabot.

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office received a call around 6 p.m. Saturday and found several juveniles who had fled the home. Officials say the juveniles told them their parents had been arguing and their father threatened to shoot them if they called the police.

Officers say just as the juveniles were leaving the residence, they heard gunshots.

A tactical team was called in after no one answered the door. They went inside the home and found the bodies.

The victims were identified as 39-year-old Justin Moody and 38-year-old Candace Moody.

The sheriff's office is still investigating, but said the deaths appear to be the result of a murder-suicide.
