LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — An investigation began Monday into the deaths of two people whose bodies were found in northwest Las Vegas.

In a statement confirming the investigation, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department wrote that "two elderly deceased individuals" were found inside a residence in the 4700 block of North Torrey Pines Drive at approximately 9:25 a.m.

By Monday evening, investigators determined the incident was a murder suicide, with the elderly man believed to have shot the woman and then himself.
