This could be a first. Host family dies while exchange student in the home. You might see this news item show up in Japan. The incident just occurred yesterday. Thankfully the student is all right; I hope she can recover from the stress, ptsd, etc.
ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A man and woman were found shot to death Friday in what appears to be a murder-suicide inside an Orion Township home, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies went to the home to conduct a welfare check. Both victims were found dead with apparent gunshot wounds.
Deputies also found a 17-year-old exchange student from Japan in the home. She was not injured. She told investigators she heard the couple -- a 57-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman -- arguing late Thursday evening, which has happened before.
The Sheriff's Office said it appears a "domestic situation" escalated to a possible murder-suicide.
The Medical Examiner's Office will conduct autopsies while this remains under investigation.
This article has some more details. It was the student who saw the bodies and called the police.
