A man and a woman died Friday in what appears to be a murder-suicide at a home in Sun City Center, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

A neighbor called 911 to report the sound of gunfire just before 8 p.m., the agency said. Deputies reported to a home on the 2200 block of Preservation Green Court and found the man and the woman dead inside.

They were husband and wife.

The Sheriff's Office did not release any other details about the incident or provide the names of the man and woman. The agency had no previous calls from the home on record, and is continuing its investigation.

The apparent murder-suicide is the latest in a string across the Tampa Bay area in the last week.

In one of the cases, a Hillsborough County sheriff's deputy killed his wife before shooting himself.

On Sunday, a Manatee man fatally shot his wife, stepdaughter and then himself.

A shooting in a Clearwater hotel room involving a New Port Richey couple was also ruled a murder-suicide.
