COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police said two people were found dead at a scene outside Smyrna on Saturday morning in what they believe is a murder-suicide.
The Cobb County Police Department said it happened in the area of Olive Springs Road.
Around 9:25 a.m., police said 911 dispatchers received a call about shots being fired at the home. It was eventually revealed that there was a female victim as a result.
Once officers arrived, they found a man and woman, both 19, dead near the front yard of the location. Both had gunshot wounds and a handgun was discovered near the man, police add.
Authorities now believe the incident stemmed from a domestic dispute and is likely a murder/suicide.
