A husband and wife died in an apparent murder-suicide overnight in the area of Graywyck Drive in Seven Fields, according to state police in Butler.

A 26-year-old man called his parents early Tuesday morning and confessed to killing his 25-year-old wife before then taking his own life, Public Information Officer Trooper Bertha Cazy said.

Police did not immediately identify the couple.

Northern Regional police received a call around 1:15 a.m. from the parents of the man who said their son admitted to killing his wife at the Graywyck Drive home. The parents reported the man was in a wooded area nearby threatening suicide, Cazy said.

Police responded to find the woman dead with multiple gunshot wounds. They then searched the area and found the man dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in nearby Cranberry Township.

Police said they do not believe there were any children in the home. The man’s parents live outside the state, but worked to find a local police department to call, Cazy said.

Northern Regional Police Chief Bryan DeWick said the incident appears to be a “domestic situation.” He said the man was located in the woods nearby with the use of thermal drones following about an hour-long search.

DeWick said there is no public safety threat.

The Butler County Coroner Korynne Young said her office was responding.
