The bodies of a husband and wife were found shot to death inside their residence at 202 First Street Tuesday morning in what police say was an apparent murder-suicide. The couple was identified by police as Emmett Earl Armstrong, 60, and Beverly Armstrong, 43. The two were pronounced dead at the scene at 10:30 a. m. Tuesday by Pct. 4 Justice of the Peace Billy Jalufka. Based on a note police found at the scene, Sgt. Benny DeLeon of the Palacios Police Dept. said it was "pretty clear cut that he shot his wife then shot himself." The couple had moved to Palacios from Hitchcock two months ago. According to Donald Kopecky, camp manager of the Texas Baptist Encampment, the Armstrongs had been employed to do general maintenance at the camp two weeks ago. It was at that time the Armstrongs had moved into the house at 202 First which belonged to the TBE. The bodies were discovered shortly before 10 a. m. Tuesday by Kopecky and TBE administrator Elree Smithart who were concerned when the couple had not been since Saturday morning. Palacios police officer Benny DeLeon said the bodies were found sprawled in separate chairs in the living room. Both had been apparently shot with a .22-caliber rifle which had been found in the room, DeLeon said. The couple's dog was also shot and lying in the same room.
