CAIRO — The deaths of a Grady County woman and her juvenile daughter are believed to be a murder/suicide, the Grady County Sheriff’s Office chief investigator said.

In reference to a shooting, deputies responded about 11 p.m. Thursday to a house on Beth Page Road in southern Grady County.

In a bedroom at the residence, officers found a 59-year-old woman who apparently had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said Capt. Daniel Singletary, sheriff’s office chief investigator.

A female juvenile found in the same bedroom had been fatally wounded.

“The juvenile is being investigated as a homicide,” Singletary said.

A revolver was recovered in the room in possession of the adult female, the investigator said.

An adult male at the house is not considered a suspect.

Singletary said the identity of the two females is not being released at this time, but more information will be available in a few days.

The bodies will be transported to a state crime lab for autopsies. Preliminary autopsy reports will provide information not available now, Singletary said.
