ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY, Mo. — Two men were killed in an apparent murder-suicide in St. Francois County Monday morning.
At around 6 a.m., officers got a call from a woman who lived on the 9400 block of Woodleigh Drive. She told officers she believed her grandson shot her husband.
While officers were on their way, police got another call from the home, this time from a man. He told the operator that someone shot him twice, but the man then lost consciousness while still on the line with the operator.
When police arrived on the scene, they found a 66-year-old man shot dead and a 24-year-old man dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The two men were identified as 24-year-old Nicholas Brown and 66-year-old James Lange.
The investigation is ongoing.
