Two Found Shot To Death In Pekin Home

Police say two people have been found dead in a one-story, Pekin home, victims of gunshot wounds.

Although Pekin police haven't identified the victims, nor have they given details about the case, they say no suspects are being sought in connection with the deaths.

Public Information Officer Don Jolly says the woman's body was found early Monday in the home's foyer, near the front door. The man's body was found about 10 feet away.

Police were called to the home at about 11:30 a.m. by the woman's parents after they could not contact her.

Jolly says authorities believe it was the man who fired the handgun that was found between his legs. He said both victims were in their 30s, and were the only people living in the home.
