HENDERSON, Tenn. (AP) — Police in West Tennessee say a husband and wife have been killed in an apparent murder-suicide.

The couple were found dead in their home on Lott Road in Chester County. Chester County Sheriff's deputies responded to the call around 8:15 a.m. CDT on Saturday.

Sheriff Blair Weaver declined to identify the couple.

Neighbors told The Jackson Sun they didn't hear the shootings and weren't alerted until the couple's 6-year-old son knocked on a door because he couldn't get into his house.
