Amarillo police are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman found Sunday in a home as a possible murder-suicide.
Police received a call from family members of a man living at 6205 Gainsborough Road, according to a police news release. Relatives told police they had received a phone call from the home that caused them to become concerned.
Officers forced their way into the house about 3 p.m. and found a male and female dead in a back bedroom of apparent gunshot wounds, the release said.
A justice of the peace ordered autopsies be performed, authorities said.
The preliminary investigation indicates a murder-suicide but officials said more work must be done to confirm what happened. It was not clear what time the shootings occurred.
Gainsborough Road is just south of Interstate 40 and the 6200 block is west of Bell Street.
Investigators were still in the ranch-style home Sunday evening and yellow crime tape stretched across the front.
