Man, woman found fatally shot in Gary in apparent murder-suicide: police

A man and a woman were found dead in a home Friday in northwest Indiana in what is being investigated as a murder-suicide, police said.

Officers responded about 12:15 p.m. to a home in the 800 block of Fayette Street for a domestic disturbance and found the pair unresponsive inside with gunshot wounds, police said.

The man, 23, and the 34-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

The woman was identified as Kerry Tucker. The Lake County, Indiana, coroner’s office has not identified the man.

Police removed three children who were home during the incident and said they showed no signs of injury.
