EMS was close by and arrived first. One man, 68-year-old Walter S. Terhune of Inglis, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers reportedly surrounded a property near the town hall and reportedly saw a man standing in a window, before hearing a gunshot. The man disappeared and then they heard a gunshot.

Authorities entered the home and found Patricia Tyson, whose age was unknown, dead on the ground floor, Tummond said.

Police believe the Tysons, of nearby Citrus County, had recently separated.

According to deputies, the incident started out as a domestic conflict at a residence near the community center, the news channel reported.
