San Diego police discovered the bodies of a young Ohio couple at a motel in the 4700 block of Pacific Highway after an apparent murder and suicide early Tuesday.
A man in his early 20s apparently shot a female companion about the same age several times with a .38-caliber revolver after an argument about 2 a.m. at the motel, according to Acting Police Chief Robert Burgreen. The man apparently then shot himself.
Police found the bodies later in the day about 12:20 p.m.
Guests at the motel reported a loud argument and thumping sounds, followed by quiet in the couple’s room.
