A Puyallup couple was found dead in unincorporated Puyallup Wednesday evening in what appears to be a homicide-suicide, according to the Pierce County Sheriff's Office and the Tacoma News Tribune.

A 54-year-old man and 43-year-old woman were found dead behind the trailer they shared on a parcel of land in the 5000 block of 128th St. E. A handgun was found near the bodies.

Based on initial evidence, authorities believe the deaths were a murder-suicide. The couple did not have a history of domestic violence.
