Stranger Than Murder/Suicide?

"WICHITA, KS - Police are investigating an apparent murder/suicide of a couple but right now are not sure if the homicide may have been an accident.

"Officers were called to the home in the 3400 block of S. Everett near 31st and Meridian around 1 p.m. Sunday.

"There they found a man and a woman, both in their 60's dead of a gunshot wound.

"The couple's daughter and son live at the home. Two other young cousins spent Saturday night with their grandparents. The daughter and all three children were in the home at the time of the shooting but didn't know anything had happened until the daughter discovered her parents shot to death, according to police.

"Investigators say the couple was found in their bedroom with a handgun between them.

"`I cried all the way home...it’s kind of hard to cry and drive,` said Crystal Cummings. Cummings is a neighbor of the couple and says the woman found dead was like a `second mother` to her.

"`She was the nicest person you could ever meet,` said Cummings. `And (her husband)...I really didn't know him too well because he was always at work and he got laid off recently he just couldn’t handle not working.`

"Police are focusing on the crime scene to try to determine if this was a murder/suicide or something stranger. They're focusing on the number of shots fired in the bedroom. `Just the condition of some of the evidence in the room, we have to wait to see how that turns out because we haven't processed anything at this time,` said Sgt. Troy Nedbalek.

"Police are hoping to have more answers Monday morning at their daily press briefing."
