Dallas, TX: Couple found dead in far northeast Dallas after apparent murder-suicide

A man, 23, and woman, 20, were found dead this morning after an apparent murder-suicide at a home in the 11600 block of Audelia Road, Dallas police say.

Witnesses heard two gun shots last night just after midnight but did not call authorities, police say. During the night and earlier this morning, several neighbors complained of a strong smell of gasoline and fire-rescue workers came to the scene but could not find the source of the odor.

Eventually, a maintenance man realized the smell was coming from an apartment, and the couple was found there. Police say it appears the man shot his wife, then doused the apartment with gasoline and shot himself.
