Two people were found dead early Thursday in an Annandale, Virginia, home following what the Fairfax County Police Department described as a domestic incident.
Officers responded to the 8100 block of Guinevere Drive shortly after midnight for a death investigation, finding a man and a woman dead inside a home.
“Preliminarily, it appears that the adult male shot the adult female before shooting himself in a domestic-related incident,” Capt. Chris Cosgriff said in a briefing.
Capt. Cosgriff said authorities are withholding the victims’ names until next of kin can be notified.
Police said there is no threat to the community and detectives are investigating.
Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax previously lived on the same block, but it is unclear whether he and his wife still reside there.
