A Helena couple is dead and the Andrew County Sheriff’s Department suspects murder-suicide.
The Andrew County Sheriff’s Department reports receiving a call late Friday night from a man who stated he was going to shoot himself. The man then cut off the call. The man called back minutes later, stating he was in an argument with another, he would not go to jail, and would kill himself before authorities arrived.
Deputies arrived at the home in Helena very early Saturday morning. Deputies found a 51-year-old woman dead of a single gunshot wound. A 58-year-old man was found, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A new release from the sheriff’s department says officers recovered a small revolver and a handwritten letter.
The investigation continues.
