Authorities: Married couple found dead in South Hall County home ruled as a murder-suicide

Both were found with gunshot wounds to the head.

HALL COUNTY, Ga. — Investigators said a South Hall County couple found dead in their home earlier this month was determined to be a murder-suicide. 

Meakna Lang, 47, and Ty Lang, 55, were found with gunshot wounds to the head in their home on Little Doe Walk near Spout Springs Road in The Park at Chestnut Mountain subdivision, officials said.

According to sheriff's office spokesman Derreck Booth, the initial investigation revealed that another family member who lives inside of the home found the couple in a bedroom. 

Officials have now revealed two of the couple's sons, ages 16 and 20, and their grandmother were in the home at the time of the shooting.
