LEBANON, Maine (WGAN)  State Police say the deaths of a man and woman found inside their Lebanon home Saturday afternoon are being investigated as an apparent murder-suicide.

30-year-old Allison Parker was shot to death by her estranged boyfriend, 27-year-old Thomas Doyon, who then shot himself, according to police.  Police say it was a case of domestic violence.

The shootings took place inside a home on Bigelow Road, which the couple shared with the victim’s parents. Detectives said the couple recently ended their relationship and Allison was at the home to retrieve her belongings, as she had recently moved out.

Allison had come to the home with a girlfriend and her parents were also in the home when they heard gunshots from an upstairs bedroom. The three fled the house and called State Police.

Troopers , assisted by the State Police tactical team, responded to the house and about 3:45 members of the team entered the house and found the two bodies.

The couple had been together for about 3 years.

Police say Allison was the mother of a 7-year-old daughter, but Doyon was not the father.
