Two Dead In Merced
"Le Grand, CA - The bodies of a man and a woman were found in a home outside Le Grand in Merced County on Tuesday. Both victims were shot to death.
"67-year-old Charles Ray Dixon and his wife 67-year-old Charlotte Dixon were found near each other, each with a single gunshot wound. A small caliber handgun was found near the bodies.
"Investigators say the couple’s 12-year-old granddaughter was inside the home at the time of the shooting and she was able to call her father for help. The girl said she was upstairs in a bedroom and heard her grandparents arguing before the shots were fired. She then called her father who rushed to the home and called 911.
"Deputies don't believe anyone outside the home was involved. Detectives investigating the case said that it appears that Mr. Dixon fired a single shot killing his wife and then he turned the gun on himself."

ReplyDeleteCharles and Charlotte will be missed. They were BOTH wonderful people with terrific smiles. They made anyone who entered their home feel very welcome.
