Sanger police reported that two people were found dead Friday afternoon, Dec. 8, 2017, in the 900 block of Second Street.

A Sanger man is believed to have shot and killed his wife and then himself, with investigators trying to determine a motive.

Officers responded to the 900 block of Second Street at 4:38 p.m. Friday after a son found his parents dead inside their home, Sanger police chief Silver Rodriguez said.

Each had gunshot wounds, and a firearm was found in the home.

The incident appears to be a murder-suicide, Rodriguez said. No additional information was available Saturday.
