Whitman County Sheriff's Deputies are still investigating what they believe may be a domestic violence case that resulted in two dead bodies two-and-half-miles outside of Thornton. 

The bodies of a married couple were found around 11:30 a.m. today in their home by a deputy investigating a welfare call, Sheriff Brett Myers said. 

Myers said the sheriff's office was called around 11:15 a.m. by the woman's employer at the Oakesdale grocery store, who was concerned because the woman did not show up to work. Upon going to the couple's house, a deputy found the couple dead, apparently killed by a firearm, Myers said.

"At his point were very confident that we're investigating it as a murder suicide," he said. "They were a husband and a wife, and currently the wife was in the process of separating from her husband."

The sheriff's office will release more information about the subjects later today, Myers said.
