Australian Couple found dead  died of gunshot wounds, say police

A COUPLE found dead in their Canberra home died from gunshot wounds inflicted by one or the other of the deceased, police said.

The pair were found in their Dunlop residence, in Canberra's north-west, yesterday afternoon by police officers.

It is believed a colleague raised the alarm when the man failed to show up for work.

"It appears both deceased persons died from apparent gunshot wounds," an ACT Policing spokeswoman said.

"Police do not believe that a third person is involved."

A neighbour told AAP last night the deceased were a "lovely couple" with two young children, a boy and a girl, who had lived at the house for about eight years.

Fairfax today reported the children were staying with relatives for the school holidays when the shootings occurred.

The man and woman are believed to be in their 30s.

Their names are yet to be released while police inform all family members of their deaths.

ACT Policing said a number of witnesses had provided statements and their investigations were ongoing.

"However, anyone who has not yet spoken to police and can provide information which may be able to assist the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000," the spokeswoman said.
