LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. -- A mixed martial arts fighter and his wife have been found shot to death in a Laguna Niguel condominium in what authorities say was an apparent murder-suicide.

Orange County sheriff’s officials say the bodies of Justin Levens and his wife Sarah McLean-Levens were found Wednesday afternoon. The 28-year-old Levens competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and other fighting federations.

Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino says the couple were found by the woman’s mother, who called 911.

Lt. Mike Jansen says further information would be released Thursday.
