MERIDIAN, Idaho (AP) — Meridian police are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide involving an elderly couple.

A 91-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman were found about 10:40 a.m. Thursday by police making a welfare check at a residence in a senior living community.

Police have not released their names.

Officers went to the home after getting a call from concerned relatives who had not heard from the couple for the past few days.

After entering the house, police say they found both dead from gunshot wounds in a bedroom.

Police say their preliminary investigation indicates the man shot the woman with a handgun and then turned the gun on himself. It appears there was some kind of struggle.
