Chen Su, 84, shot his elderly wife then turned the gun on himself in what police called a “domestic-related murder-suicide” Tuesday night in the Bridgeport neighborhood, authorities said.
The Su’s daughters discovered the bodies in a bedroom of the elderly couple’s home in the 900 block of West 31st Place about 9 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
Chen Su and his wife, 84-year-old Hsin Su, each had gunshot wounds to the head and died at the scene, authorities said.
Police said a weapon was discovered next to the man’s body, and he is believed to be the shooter. Autopsies are scheduled for later Wednesday.
Area Central detectives are investigating.
