Sheriff: Two killed after possible argument turned deadly
Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said an apparent dispute between neighbors might have fueled a murder-suicide that also involved a home burning to the ground.
Authorities began a search for a shooter after one woman was found shot to death next to her burning home, according to Marshak and KTVI in St. Louis.
Marshak ordered residents in the area near Highway NN and Dutch Creek to seek shelter while the SWAT team searched for the shooter.
