Police have identified a man and his wife, whose deaths they said are believed to be the result of a murder-suicide.

Investigators believe Scott Morrison, 31, shot and killed his estranged wife, Angela, 30, Sunday at the front door of a home in the 700 block of Frigate Drive, according to Harold Eley, police spokesman.

The gunfire was reported to police about 5:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Frigate Drive, Eley said.

The Morrisons had separated, "and according to reports, the man shot the woman and then shot himself," Eley said.

The Morrison's two children, ages 8 and 5, were playing in the backyard during the shootings, Eley said. They had been spending the weekend with their father.
