CBS 7 sources confirm Gregg McDonald and his wife Jana were found dead at their home. Gregg is an Executive at a local bank. He and his wife are known for their volunteer work across the Permian Basin.

"Gregg was a wonderful man, he had great banking relations with people and was funny and nice, it's just awful to hear what happened. It just goes to show you don't ever know what's going on in people's lives, they will be greatly missed," said one family friend.

Police say they responded to the shooting at about 4:56 this morning, and found two people shot to death in the 5300 block of Conley.
