WESTPORT ISLAND (AP) – An elderly couple were found dead Tuesday at their home. As an investigation continued, the case was being treated tentatively as a murder-suicide, authorities said.

Identifications were not immediately released.

Maine state police spokesman Stephen McCausland said the two appeared to have died from gunshots.

Initial reports indicated that the unidentified husband had called Wiscasset police and that the Lincoln County sheriff’s office responded.

State police joined the investigation.

Gun, ammo found in school

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP)- Police were investigating an incident in which a seventh-grade boy brought a gun to school.

Four students at Naylor School were questioned by police Monday after one boy brought a gun to school. Officials locked down the building down for more than an hour.

During a search of the school while it was locked down, police discovered a handgun and a clip of ammunition in different locations.

The gun was not loaded, no shots were fired, and no one was injured or threatened, police said.

Police said one of the four boys admitted bringing the gun to school.

Bill would outlaw window-peeping

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – Peering in through people’s windows is on its way to becoming a crime in New Hampshire.

A committee of lawmakers from the House and Senate agreed to language Monday that would allow police to charge peeping Toms with a crime.

Police complained to lawmakers that they could only collect fines from peepers by charging them with prowling or loitering.

The issue came up two years ago when Durham police found a man they suspected of sneaking into homes and snipping clothing off women as they slept.
