LEE COUNTY, Ala. (WRBL) - A suspected murder-suicide involving a couple is under investigation in both Lee and Chambers County according to the Lee County Coroner.
Chambers County Coroner Jeff Jones says around Sunday afternoon, November 14th, a man was discovered dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the cemetery at Friendship Baptist Church number two.
The investigation crossed over into Lee County a short time later. Lee County Coroner Bill Harris says information led investigators to a home along US Hwy 29 North, near Lee Road 390, where a woman was discovered dead from a shooting. Harris and Chief Deputy Gene Manning pronounced her dead at the scene.
Harris says the man who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound is believed to have shot the woman earlier in the day, killing her.
Both coroners will release the names to the public on Monday.
