Hello, Officer  

A woman returned from out of town to find two people shot to death in her house — and one of them was her husband. She claimed she didn't know the other person.

Investigators recovered a handgun and a spent casing on the floor at the scene, plus a bullet in the wall.

Was this some kind of murder/suicide situation? What was the second shooting victim doing there?
