Police confirmed that a shooting had taken place and that a gun was recovered by police.
The deceased were later identified as Prem Singh, 69, and Jan Singh, 70, who were the sole residents of the home.
Investigators announced on Friday that they found the deaths were a result of a murder-suicide, with Prem Singh shooting his wife Jan before sustaining a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound.
There is no threat to public safety and no outstanding suspects being sought in the investigation, police said.
Privacy has been requested for the Singhs’ family and friends during this difficult time.
