Temple Police Investigate Murder-Suicide in Domestic Violence Incident

TEMPLE, Texas – The Temple Police Department is investigating a tragic murder-suicide that occurred on the evening of January 24. Authorities responded to a call at approximately 8 p.m. regarding a shooting in the 9000 block of Cantera Ridge Road. Upon arrival, officers discovered one individual who had been shot.

In a follow-up update on Saturday morning, police confirmed that the suspect was found deceased inside the residence.
