No Obvious Motive In Georgia Murder/Suicide

"CARROLLTON, GA - Carrollton police believe a man shot and killed his wife before taking his own life Thursday afternoon at the couple’s home.

"Police, responding to an emergency call around 2:47 p.m., discovered the bodies of Cleodus Bryant, 70, and his wife Frances Bryant, 76, at their 201 River Drive residence. A relative reportedly stopped by the residence and made the 911 call.

"Coroner Sam Eady pronounced both the man and woman dead at the scene and confirmed that they died of gunshot wounds.

"`From the preliminary investigation it looks like he shot her and then turned the gun on himself,` Patrol Capt. Jamison Sailors said. `At this point, we don’t know why this happened.`

"Sailors said he was not aware of any previous domestic disturbances or medical conditions that could have factored into the motive behind the shooting."
