Child, 5, finds parents dead in apparent murder-suicide
VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A man and a woman were found dead in the woman's home on Wednesday in what police believe was a murder-suicide.
Police said shortly before 2 p.m. the couple's child found the bodies at the woman's home near SE 30th Way and 196th Avenue.
The girl ran across the street and notified a neighbor, who then called 911. Neighbor Steve Grice said at first, he thought the girl was joking but soon realized she was not.
"I'm shocked that that would happen," Grice said.
The victims' names are being help pending notification of family members.
Police recovered a gun at the scene.
Neighbors said the two were married, but had been separated since the man moved out over the summer. The couple had a history of domestic violence, they said.
