METAIRIE (AP) — Louisiana authorities are investigating the deaths of a married couple in which the woman apparently shot her husband early Monday, then called 911 to report the slaying before shooting herself in the head.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said in a news release that the emergency call came from the city of Metairie on Monday about 5:05 a.m.
Normand says the woman identified herself as 61-year-old Penelope D. Springer and said she shot her husband. The woman then hung up the phone.
