Gage, OK: Woodward teacher, husband die in apparent murder-suicide

Relatives who could not reach the couple on the telephone went to their house in Gage on Sunday and found the bodies.

WOODWARD — A Woodward Middle School teacher died over the weekend, the apparent victim of a murder-suicide.
The bodies of April Lynn Miranda, 34, and her husband, Guillermo Miranda, 38, were found in their home near Gage about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Jessica Brown said.
“We believe that he shot her and then shot himself,” Brown said.
The body of Guillermo Miranda had one gunshot wound to the head and April Miranda suffered two gunshot wounds, Brown said.
Brown would not say where April Miranda was shot.
Brown told the Woodward News she did not have information about what type of gun was used.
The bodies were found by family members, Brown said.
“Nobody was answering their phones, so they went by the house, and that’s when they discovered them,” she said.
Their three sons were not home at the time, Brown said.
The shootings apparently happened either overnight (Saturday) or on Sunday morning, Brown said. Relatives had contact with them Saturday.
