MERIDIAN, Idaho (AP) - Meridian police are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide involving an elderly couple.
A 91-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman were found about 10:40 a.m. Thursday by police making a welfare check at a residence in a senior living community.
Police have not released their names.
Officers went to the home after getting a call from concerned relatives who had not heard from the couple for the past few days.
After entering the house, police say they found both dead from gunshot wounds in a bedroom.
Police say their preliminary investigation indicates the man shot the woman with a handgun and then turned the gun on himself. It appears there was some kind of struggle.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
