The bodies of a man and a woman were found by Carlsbad police at a home on Village Drive on Saturday in what investigators said they believe was a murder-suicide.
Officers were called to check the welfare of residents at a home in the 500 block of Village Drive at 6:09 p.m. Saturday, said Lt. Jason Jackowski of the Carlsbad Police Department.

"Upon arriving, officers forced entry into the home and located two deceased individuals inside,'' the lieutenant said.
