"READING, PA - Reading Police are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide in the city.
"Captain Drexler with the Reading Police said crews were called to the 300 block of Pear Street at 3:44 Sunday afternoon for reports of a shooting.
"They arrived to find the bodies of a male and a female, both with apparent gunshot wounds.
"Police say the victims were Chukwuden Agha Okafor, 64, and Cheryl Yvonne Okafor, 37, both of Birdsboro.
"The bodies were found inside the home of one of Mr. Okafor [no, it doesn't make sense to me, either - tsc], and several relatives were inside the home at the time of the shooting. They were taken to City Hall to be questioned.
"Police said they recovered a small handgun near Mr. Okafor.
"Capt. Drexler said, based on interviews and evidence, it appears Mr. Okafor shot his wife, then turned the gun on himself. They also said there were some domestic issues between the couple."
