SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Investigators have determined that the deaths of a couple found fatally shot last week in their Mira Mesa home were a case of murder-suicide carried out by the husband, authorities reported Thursday.
Patrol officers responding to reports of suspicious activity in the 10100 block of Summerview Court about 7 p.m. on Aug. 7 arrived to find Todd Teresi, 61, and his 78-year-old wife, Tere Silentwater-Teresi, suffering from gunshot wounds in their garage, according to the San Diego Police Department.
The woman died at the scene, SDPD acting Lt. Chris Leahy said.
Paramedics took Teresi to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives have concluded that Teresi gunned down his wife before shooting himself, according to police.
"No outstanding suspects are being sought," Leahy said Thursday.
