A married couple died in an apparent murder-suicide Saturday evening in Conroe, according to Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Wayne Mack.

Deputies headed over to the couple's home on Wind River Drive around 6 p.m. for a welfare check, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

On the way, they learned that a family member had already gone inside and found 47-year-old Anthony Janczak and 57-year-old Ivonne Janczak dead with apparent gunshot wounds.

Mack ordered autopsies, and the investigation is ongoing.

The couple was home alone at the time, and it's not clear why someone initially alerted police.

Authorities did not specify who was believed to have fired the fatal shots, but said that there is "no reason to believe" there's any continuing threat to the public.

"It was a very terrible and sad situation," Mack said. "Please pray for all of the families that were involved."
