The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said two people are dead after a possible domestic situation.

The sheriff's office have identified the deceased as a 46-year-old man, Juan Lopez Pineda, and his wife, 39-year-old Lenor Vazquez Silva.

According to JCSO, 911 received a call at about 1:30 p.m. about a potential domestic situation at 1893 Oak Grove Road. A deputy arrived on scene about four minutes later.

As the deputy approached the home, investigators said a child ran from the house. The sheriff's office said a male subject, later identified as Pineda, inside the home came to the door and said he had "shot his wife."

That's when the deputy took the child to safety in his police vehicle while waiting for other deputies to arrive.

The sheriff's office said they made several attempts to contact anyone inside the house, but were unable to do so.

Investigators said a special response team arrived on scene and, at about 4:30 p.m., made entry into the home and found the couple dead. Investigators said Pineda shot and killed his wife before shooting himself.

Officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation confirmed they were assisting the sheriff's office. The investigation is ongoing.

"Call a 911 center," the sheriff's office said, if you hear of potential domestic issues. "They are very dangerous situations, potentially."
