Murder-suicide at Thornton's Hawthorne Hill Apts?: Man & woman found shot dead (No. 23)

Hot on the heels of Michael Wade Jackson's arrest in the slaying of Mohamed Abushahma and a shooting near a condo in Aurora, we're learning about the discovery of two dead bodies -- one male, one female -- in a Thornton apartment. Both died of gunshot wounds to the head, which certainly suggests murder-suicide, although the Thornton Police Department isn't going there just yet.
