CLEVELAND— Authorities have found two people dead inside an east side home -- the possible result of a murder suicide.
The medical examiner's office identifies the woman who is dead as 31 year-old Rana Peale of Cleveland. She died of multiple gunshot wounds.
An unidentified man was also found inside the home, dead from a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Peale's family raced to the scene outside the police tape in front of her home.
They say she was the victim of a murder-suicide carried out by an ex-boyfriend with whom she shares a young daughter.
"He threatened her life just last week," says Rachun Young, a member of Peale's family.
Tony Mayo, Peale's brother-in-law, says she sought a restraining order in recent days.
"The office down there said we had to wait until he did something before we could file a restraining order," Mayo says.
Police said it was early in their investigation, and they had no information yet on the victim possibly seeking such an order.
