The deaths of a man and woman found inside of their Lebanon home on Saturday afternoon are being investigated as a murder suicide, according to the Maine Department of Public Safety.
Police say 30-year-old Allison Parker was shot to death by 27-year-old Thomas Doyon, who was Parker's estranged boyfriend. Doyon then shot himself.
The shootings took place inside a Bigelow Road home the couple shared with the victim's parents.
According to authorities, the couple has been together for about three years but had recently broken up. On Saturday Parker returned to the house with a friend to retrieve her belongings. The friend and Parker's parents were downstairs when they heard shots come from an upstairs bedroom. They fled the home and called police, officials said.
State troopers responded to the house around 3:45 p.m. Saturday. They discovered the two bodies when they entered the house.
Parker had a 7-year-old daughter, but Doyon was not the father.
Officials say autopsies are being performed by the State Medical Examiner's Office in Augusta.
