2 dead in apparent murder-suicide at Las Vegas rehab center
A couple in their 80s died Wednesday morning at a northwest valley rehabilitation center in what police are calling a murder-suicide.
Nursing staff called police at 9:30 a.m. after hearing two shots at Welbrook Transitional Rehabilitation, 6650 Grand Montecito Parkway, near West Deer Springs Way and North Durango Drive, authorities said.
A man shot his wife before turning the gun on himself, Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Jay Rivera said.
The man checked in Tuesday as a patient at the facility, Metro Sgt. Matthew Sanford said. The woman was at the rehabilitation center about five minutes before shots were fired.
Police did not immediately have any information about the man’s medical history.
