New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster and Dover Police Chief Anthony F. Colarusso, Jr., announce that an investigation is ongoing into the deaths of a husband and his wife at the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, New Hampshire.

At approximately 6:03 a.m. this morning, officers from the Dover Police Department responded to a 911 call from Wentworth-Douglass Hospital reporting shots fired inside the facility. Responding officers from the Dover Police Department discovered a deceased adult male and his deceased adult wife in a room inside the hospital's critical care unit. While the investigation is still in the early stages and ongoing, the two deaths appear to be the result of a murder-suicide.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be conducting autopsies on the deceased couple to determine their exact cause and manner of death.

Investigators are withholding the identities of the deceased pending notification of their next of kin.
