NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) — Natchez police say they believe a man killed his girlfriend then went to his mother's apartment and shot himself to death.

The Natchez Democrat reports 40-year-old Ernest Clark was shot in the head late Wednesday with a .380 automatic pistol.

Police Lt. Craig Godbold says witnesses on the scene of Clark's shooting reported that Clark's girlfriend, 26-year-old Candice Johnson, had been killed.

Police found Johnson's body at Clark's home.

Godbold says the couple had been together about a month and may have broken up in the past week. He says there was no sign of struggle at either home. Police recovered the gun.
