Yavapai County, Ariz. — Sheriff’s deputies found a man and a woman dead after answering a call Monday afternoon at their Yavapai County home.
Deputies were responded to the Cornville home for the report of a 72-year-old man who had apparently shot his 83-year-old wife and planned to cause harm to himself, according to the Yabapai County Sheriff’s Office.
