Man and woman die in possible murder-suicide

A man and a woman died Saturday in what witnesses described as a murder-suicide, according to a Wichita Falls police news release.

At 12:26 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to investigate shots fired at Highpoint Apartments in the 5500 block of Professional Drive.

In the parking lot, they discovered a 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman with gunshot wounds, the press release said.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The man was transported by AMR to United Regional Health Care System, where he was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses told police that the man and woman, who are believed to be in a relationship, argued as they left the residence. The man began shooting at the woman and then shot himself in the parking lot.
