"GENESEE TOWNSHIP, MI — Police said the incident involving a man and woman found dead in a home this afternoon appeared to be a homicide-suicide.

"Mullaly said the two victims were in their 30s. The man lived at the home. The woman did not.

"`It's being further investigated,` he said. `There was a shotgun involved.`
