SCOTTSDALE, AZ - Authorities say a man and woman have been found dead in a Scottsdale home and it appears to be a murder-suicide.

Scottsdale police say the married couple was found dead about 5 a.m. early Wednesday.

They've been identified as 58-year-old Daniel Peralta and his 52-year-old wife, Laura Peralta.

Police spokesman Sgt. Mark Clark says investigators haven't determined a manner of death for either victim yet.

He says the department has no record of police contact at the home.

Police say the couple's son was in the home and reported hearing gunshots.

When he went to check on his parents, police say he found both of them dead of gunshot wounds.

Police say they're not seeking any suspects in the case, which they believe to be a domestic violence incident.
