Heated Argument Ends Tragically

"CHELAN, WA — A Chelan couple's heated argument ended tragically just before midnight Saturday when the man shot the woman and then turned the gun on himself.

"Sgt. Jerry Moore, spokesman for the Chelan County Sheriff's Office said both the man, 47, and woman, 37 were dead in the bathroom of the family's mobile home on 35 Apple Acres Road when officers and emergency crews arrived on the scene.

"The couple's three children, ages 18, 15 and 13 were in the TV room at the time of the shootings, Moore said.

"The children were uninjured. They're now staying with extended family members, he said.

"Police are withholding the victims' names until next of kin are notified, Moore said.

"Investigators combed the crime scene last night. The bodies are at the coroner's office. Autopsy results are expected Tuesday, he said.

"`It's just an unfortunate tragedy,` Moore said. `We've got a lot of follow-up investigation to do. Until we interview the children, we won't know what they were arguing about.`"
