GARDINER — The Park County Sheriff’s Office in southwestern Montana is investigating an apparent murder-suicide in Gardiner.

Deputies and Yellowstone National Park rangers responded Thursday to a home after a woman reported a man had shot at her and was trying to break in.

Authorities say they found the man dead and a woman still alive but she died at the scene.

Authorities identified them Friday as 63-year-old Steve A. Cole and 59-year-old Debi J. Roberts.

Undersheriff Scott Hamilton says autopsies are planned in Bozeman. He didn’t provide a possible cause of death.

Authorities say Cole and Roberts had previously been in a relationship, and that Cole had a previous charge of domestic violence.
