The woman was dead and the man was critically injured, according to Mack. It appears both the man and the woman suffered from gunshot wounds, Mack confirmed.
The man was taken to hospital.
Police aren’t looking for any suspects.
Mack says the man and woman, estimated to be in their 60s or 70s, were the only ones in the residence, which is a replica of a portion Elvis Presley’s famous Graceland home, at the time of the incident.
