Murder/Suicide Pair Had Been Arguing

"OCALA, FL — Sheriff’s detectives said Tuesday that a man and woman found shot to death the day before inside their southeast Ocala home were victims of a murder-suicide.

"Detectives said they received a call at 5:26 p.m. Monday from family members who live out of town, asking that deputies do a well-being check on Woodrow Wilson Hall, 68, and his wife, Barbara A. Hall, 66. Relatives had been trying to telephone the couple since Sunday with no success.

"A deputy arrived two minutes later at the brown residence with white trim at 409 SE 52nd Ave. The deputy noticed the garage door was open and heard a television on in the background. After receiving no response from repeated knocks on the door that separates the garage from the house, the deputy entered the home and saw the dead bodies of the man and woman sitting on the couch in the living room in close proximity to each other.

"Based on the investigation and the results of autopsies conducted Tuesday, detectives said the man shot his wife with one handgun and then turned another handgun on himself.

"No note was found.

"Detectives said they were told by a `friend/relative` that the couple had been arguing."
