No Details Or Motive


"DAWSON COUNTY, GA — Two people are dead in what Dawson County authorities believe is a murder suicide.

"The incident, involving a local couple, allegedly occurred about 7 p.m. Saturday at their residence on New Bethel Church Road off Highway 136 West, between highways 400 and 9 North.

"The identity of the couple was not being released early Sunday morning, pending notification of next of kin.

"`It appears the husband shot the wife in the chest with a rifle while she was in bed, then shot himself in the chest with the rifle,` said Dawson County Sheriff’s Lt. Tony Wooten.

"It was unknown at the time of this report who discovered the bodies or details about the shooter’s motive.

"The incident remains under investigation by the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office."
