HENNEPIN, Ill. —
Authorities say an elderly man shot his wife to death and then killed himself in their central Illinois home.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Department says 73-year-old James Price and 83-year-old Darlene Price were found dead Sunday evening.
A news release from Sheriff Kevin Doyle's office says Darlene Price was shot once by her husband, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The (Peoria) Journal Star reported James Price was a retired ironworker. He received a Citizen of Year Award in 2008 for his volunteer work.
The Illinois State Police assisted with the investigation. The Putnam County death investigator pronounced the couple dead at the scene.
