A man and a woman were found dead with gunshot wounds to the head. this morning in an apartment in Brooklyn (NYC), a case that authorities are investigating as a homicide-suicide.
Officers responded to a call at the apartment located at 2nd Street and 5th Avenue in Park Slope shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday and found two 34-year-old people — a woman and a man — “unconscious and unresponsive,” police sources said.
Both individuals were pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s wound appeared to be self-inflicted and there was a firearm next to his body, he noted. New York Post.
The identities of the deceased have not been shared publicly pending family notification.
