Update on 8/20 Bannock Highway Incident

Just before 8:00 p.m. on Friday, August 20, the Pocatello Police Department received a call regarding two deceased individuals in a vehicle parked at home in the 2000 block of Bannock Highway.
 
In the course of officers’ investigation, they determined the male and female had succumbed to gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported hearing the individuals engaged in an argument and reported hearing what sounded like gun shots in the area. Upon further investigation, officers determined the male shot and killed the female, and then killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
 
This appears to be an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.
 
The names of the deceased are being withheld until next of kin is notified.
