East Point police early Tuesday were investigating an apparent murder-suicide in a neighborhood off Washington Road.
Officers responding to reports of gunshots at a home on Potomac Court around 2 a.m. Tuesday found a man and a woman shot to death, Channel 2 Action News reported.
“We believe that the motive for this incident is a murder-suicide,” East Point police Lt. Cliff Chandler told Channel 2.
The identities of the man and woman have not been released.
The incident was the second apparent murder-suicide in metro Atlanta in about 12 hours.
Monday afternoon, a Gwinnett County man shot and killed himself in front of a police officer at a house near Lawrenceville, and when officers entered the home, they found the body of a woman who had been shot to death.
