SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the deaths of two people earlier this month in a southwest Missouri home as a possible murder-suicide.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that a search warrant shows that Greene County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched Oct. 11 to a home southwest of the Springfield city limits when a neighbor became concerned. The home’s garage door was open, the dogs were barking and the mother and son who lived there were unreachable.
Deputies entered the home after looking through a window and seeing a woman lying unresponsive on a bed. They then found a man dead in the living room with a shotgun on the floor next to him.
