Shavano Park police say an elderly man shot and killed his wife on Thanksgiving Day before turning the gun on himself.
Authorities have identified the victims as 72-year-old Rodney and 70-year-old Antoinette Haynes, of 91 Mossy Cup.
Shavano Park police said they were called to the home at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday in report of possible injuries. Upon arriving, officers said they found the couple laying on the ground near one another, each with a fatal gunshot wound.
Investigators were originally investigating the deaths as a possible double homicide, but ruled it a murder-suicide Friday afternoon.
Police allege Rodney shot himself in the neck after fatally shooting his wife in the head.
Investigators said there were no signs of forced entry and a shotgun was found near the bodies.
The bodies were removed from the home and taken to the Bexar County Medical Examiners Office. An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday and results of the forensic pathology report is expected sometime next week.
