The CPD said that a man called 911 at around 6:31 p.m. reporting that he was going to commit suicide in his home on the 2500 block of Navarra Drive.
Officers arrived at the home to find a 71-year-old man and a 79-year-old woman dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
A handgun was discovered at the scene.
The CPD's preliminary investigation suggests that the two victims were married and suffering from different medical conditions.
