Upon arrival, officers discovered a 53-year-old woman deceased and a 74-year-old man holding a handgun.

He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Authorities confirmed that this was not an officer-involved shooting.
Preliminary investigations by Henderson detectives suggest the incident was a murder-suicide.
