It happened at about 1:15 a.m. in a quiet neighborhood on Southwest Kamchatka Avenue.
"A white male called 911 and said he had just killed his wife and was going to kill himself," police spokesman Tom Nichols said. "Before he turned the gun on himself, he set the house on fire."
Nichols said police arrived to find the front door of the house open, with the man's body behind the door and the woman's body in a bedroom. Police said the woman had been shot in the head.
