Two people are dead following a domestic violence incident in Nimishillen Township early this morning.
The Stark County Sherrif’s Office got a call from a woman inside a home on Broadway Avenue NE saying a man had shot a woman inside the home.
The caller told dispatchers she was hiding in the closet.
When deputies got there they saw the suspect, 64-year old Jeffery Denton, sitting in the kitchen with the victim on the floor. Denton then shot himself as deputies approached. 70-year old Lorene Denton was dead at the scene. The female caller was found safe in an upstairs closet.
Officials continue to try to piece together what may have happened.
