A man killed a woman, then himself in a North Philadelphia home Saturday evening, according to police. The apparent murder-suicide took place on the second floor of a home on the 2300 block of North 18th Street.
Officers responded to the home around 5:30 Saturday evening, Inspector D.F. Pace said.
A 43-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were found shot in the head on the second floor.
“It appears that the man turned the gun on the woman inside the home and then turned the gun on himself,” Pace said.
A gun was recovered from the hand of the man, according to Pace.
Both were taken to Temple University Hospital, where they died.
Police believe the man and the woman were involved in a relationship.
