A husband and wife from Lake Grove are dead after an apparent murder-suicide, Suffolk County police said.
Varujan Manougian, 69, and his wife Barbara Manougian, 67, were found at around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday at their apartment complex on Hallock Road, police said.
A 911 caller had told police that Varujan Manougian had been found dead by someone doing a wellness check. Fourth Precinct police responded and discovered him dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Barbara Manougian was found in her vehicle outside the apartment complex, also dead from a gunshot wound, police said.
