JOHNS CREEK, GA — Johns Creek police are investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide that left a husband and wife dead inside their home.
Officers were called to a residence in the 5300 block of North Hillbrooke Trace after receiving a 911 call from one of the couple’s three children who was inside the home.
“We got a call from inside a residence from one of the three juveniles that were inside, and the officers responded to what they believe to be a domestic dispute,” said Major Todd Hood with Johns Creek Police.
