MAPPSVILLE, Va. (AP) - Authorities say two people are dead following an apparent murder-suicide in Accomack County.
The Accomack County Sheriff's Office says in a news release that deputies found 20-year-old Elizabeth Madison Ann Jensen of Sanford and 27-year-old Jonan Fabricio Gonzales-Funes of Bloxom both dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside a vehicle on Saturday morning.
A baby, who was also inside the car, was not harmed. Authorities say the infant, who was the child of Jensen and Gonzales-Funes, was placed in the care of family members.
Investigators believe Gonzales-Funes killed Jensen before turning the gun on himself.
Authorities say Gonzales-Funes was a correctional officer who worked for the sheriff's office since September 2015.
Both bodies were taken to the medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
