Great Falls Deaths Apparent Murder-Suicide

By Beacon Staff

GREAT FALLS – Great Falls police believe a weekend stabbing and shooting that left a woman and man dead was a murder-suicide.

Shots were fired at two other individuals in the south-side neighborhood, but they reportedly were not hurt.

Lt. John Sowell says the names and ages of the two who died are being withheld until their families can be notified.

He says police have learned the man stabbed the woman and then fired at least two shots at another nearby house before shooting himself in the head in the front yard.

Sowell says no motive has been determined.
