PINEHURST, N.C. — Pinehurst police confirmed the discovery of two bodies at a home on Tuesday was a murder-suicide.

Officials with the Pinehurst Police Department said Kevin Dannar, 51, was an Army veteran from Davidson County. They said he killed Cynthia Dannar, 58. She was the owner of Dannar Hypnotherapy Clinic in Pinehurst.

Police said a neighbor contacted them because they were concerned about the couple. When police arrived at the couple's home Tuesday around 2 p.m., they found both were dead. Officials said Kanner shot his wife once then turned the gun on himself.

The investigation into the shooting and motive are still being looked into.
