Tulsa police say a husband and wife are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in south Tulsa

TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police say a husband and wife were found dead in their home at the Benchmark Condos around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday evening.

Captain Jarrod Hart tells us a concerned cousin went to check on the couple at their home near East 91st Street and South Yale Avenue, which is when the bodies were discovered.

The cousin told police that the husband and wife had not been heard from in about two weeks.

Police say the condo was completely locked up so maintenance at the facility had to unlock the unit.

Captain Hart says both the husband and wife were found with gunshot wounds to the head, and a gun was still in the hands of one of the bodies.

TPD has not made it official, but they say all available evidence leads them to believe this was a murder-suicide.
