Two dead in apparent murder-suicide

Two people are dead after an apparent murder suicide in Hunter's Green subdivision in Tampa Saturday morning.

According to the Tampa police department, a neighbor called 911 about 8 a.m. and reported seeing the lifeless body of 48-year-old Anna Burgess in the front yard of her home, 17808 Hickory Moss Place. When police and emergency workers arrived, they saw movement inside the home and called hostage negotiators and the SWAT team for assistance.

After several attempts to contact the person inside the house, they entered through the front door and found the body of the husband, Roy Burgess, 53, inside a hallway. 

Based on the preliminary investigation, police believe Roy Burgess murdered his wife and then shot himself, according to Andrea Davis, Tampa police spokeswoman. Detectives are still working to determine whether there was a motive. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around midnight but didn't call police. The couple has two teenage sons who were not at home at the time.
