When deputies arrived on scene, they made contact with the couple’s 21-year-old son. The 21-year-old, along with his 11-year-old brother and a 15-year-old friend, were home when the shooting occurred. He told deputies his parents had been arguing. When he heard gunshots, he went into their bedroom and found them both dead from apparent gunshot wounds. A gun was found in the bedroom.

Sgt. Ben Beall said deputies had been called to the home in the past. In April, One of the couple’s sons reported an assault at the residence.
