TECUMSEH, Kan. (AP) Shawnee County authorities say the death of a Tecumseh couple last week likely was a murder-suicide.
The county sheriff’s office says in a news release that an investigation indicated 57-year-old Andrew Jackson Jr. shot his estranged wife, 52-year-old Carolyn R. Jackson, and then shot himself. Their bodies were found in their home last Tuesday.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the couple was separated and going through a divorce. They had been married 30 years and had three adult children.
The sheriff is waiting for reports from the county coroner before making a final ruling.
