LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A husband and wife in Summerlin were found dead in their bedroom Tuesday afternoon from apparent gunshot wounds, authorities say.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they received a call around 4:35 p.m. for a welfare check in the 11000 block of Glacier View Avenue.
When officers arrived, they said no one answered the door. Officers checked the backyard window and saw an older man inside lying motionless on a bed. Officers entered the home and found the man and an older woman both with apparent gunshot wounds.
Medical personnel arrived and pronounced them both deceased.
