There weren't too many people outside Wednesday evening because of the bitter cold.
Even so, word spread quickly through the quiet neighborhood that something was wrong, because everyone could see there was a heavy police presence in the area.
One neighbor, who didn't want to go on camera, said he had heard the couple argue on previous occasions, but he couldn't say what they were feuding about.
"At this time, we're treating this simply as a murder-suicide. There's no search for any suspect, or shooters," George said.
The names of the victims have not yet been released.
