Pair Found Dead In Kitchen

"FAIRLEE, VT — Two people were killed Tuesday in what police say was a murder/suicide that arose from domestic violence in Fairlee.

"The Vermont State Police found Rhonda Gray, 43, and Troy Gray, 45, dead in a home at 14 Sunrise Drive at about 7:45 a.m. Police did not specify in a statement releasing the names whether the Grays were married, divorced or separated.

"The deaths occurred one day after state troopers from Bradford responded to the home to investigate a report that Troy Gray was inside in violation of his conditions of release from a July 25 domestic assault charge in which Rhonda Gray was the victim, Detective Sgt. Fred Cornell said in a statement Tuesday evening.

"When police arrived that day, Rhonda Gray denied that Troy Gray violated his conditions, and there was no other evidence indicating he had been at the home, Cornell said.

"In Tuesday’s case, a preliminary review of the evidence showed that Troy Gray used a rifle to shoot and kill Rhonda Gray, Cornell said. Troy then turned the weapon on himself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

"Police say a family member living in the home heard two gunshots in an upstairs portion of the residence, and then found the bodies of Rhonda Gray and Troy Gray in the kitchen."
