According to initial findings from investigators, both have gunshot wounds and the woman may have been fleeing from the man, as she was discovered outside. However, this is not yet certain, said Heimo Kohlbacher, spokesman for the Styrian State Police Directorate.
Neighbors heard shots
It is suspected that it was a case of murder and suicide. At around 4:30 p.m., neighbors called the police to the family home because they had heard gunshots. The officers then discovered the two dead people and two firearms, which may also have been the murder weapons. The exact background and identity of the two dead people had not yet been clarified on Monday evening, nor had they been related to each other. Both were probably around 50 years old.
State Criminal Police Office investigates
According to initial information, the man was found dead in the house. However, the building was not inhabited, according to initial findings. According to the State Police Directorate, further details are not expected until Tuesday. The Styrian State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation.
