The Park County Sheriff's Office in Wyoming has named two gunshot victims in a murder-suicide that occurred Monday morning outside Powell, Wyoming.

Mary Ann Bier, 64, had a gunshot wound to the back of the head and John Charles Bright, 74, had a gunshot wound to the right temple, according to a press release from sheriff's office spokesman Lance Matthews.

Both victims were transported to Powell Valley Hospital where they died of their wounds, the release stated.

"A suicide note was discovered at the scene," the release continued. "The investigation revealed that the victims, although not married, were involved in a long-time, live-in relationship. However, recently the relationship had soured and when Bright discovered Bier’s intent to leave him, he became despondent and shot her before turning the gun on himself."

The shooting, which took place at 818 Jonathon Road, was called in to the Park County dispatch center at 4:30 a.m., according to the press release.
