Tucson, AZ: Police identify victims of Tucson murder-suicide

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Police have identified a man and woman found dead inside a Tucson home in a murder-suicide.

Tucson detectives said Saturday that it appears 38-year-old Thad Hall Jr. fatally shot his 40-year-old girlfriend Misty Hall before turning the gun on himself.

The weapon was found at the scene along with a 1-year-old girl who's believed to be the couple's biological child. Police say the baby escaped injury and now is in the custody of state Child Protective Services.

A woman called police Friday to say her brother phoned her and claimed he was suicidal. Officers went to his residence and knocked on the front door, but didn't get a response. They opened the door, which was unlocked, and found the two bodies inside.

The victims were declared dead at the scene.
