Authorities were investigating an apparent murder-suicide after finding a woman stabbed to death and a man shot to death inside an Avalon Park home Friday afternoon, Chicago police said.
Police said the bodies of a 50-year-old woman and a 49-year-old man were found unresponsive in a home in the 8100 block of South Cornell Avenue around 2 p.m., police said.
