Husband, wife found shot to death in Pine Springs

PINE SPRINGS, TX Sheriff's authorities say a deputy had been to the couple's Pine Springs residence earlier Monday to take reports in a burglary and assault investigation.

Lt. Tony Dana says about an hour later a 911 call was received that two people were dead in the home.

Justice of the Peach Mitch Shamburger identified the victims as 68-year-old Billy Hays and 71-year-old Bonnie Hays.

One person was seen being transported, in a patrol car, away from the scene.

The sheriff's department did not immediately return a message Tuesday from The Associated Press.
