An 80-year-old man and 74-year-old woman were found dead Monday at an assisted-living community in Rockville, in what police are investigating as a murder-suicide.
Sandra Ballard, 74, and Albert Ballard, 80, were found dead at about 10 a.m. at the Village at Rockville, a retirement home in the 9700 block of Veirs Drive.
Montgomery County police say Mrs. Ballard lived at the facility and Mr. Ballard was visiting her.
Witnesses told police they heard gunshots from Mrs. Ballard’s room and later found them both dead.
Police said they are still investigating, and recovered a gun from the scene that they think was used in the shootings.
