SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say two people have been found dead after a lengthy standoff in Springfield.
Springfield police found the bodies Wednesday inside a recreational vehicle behind a house. They first went to the area after someone reported hearing a female being assaulted and possible gunshot.
After trying repeatedly to contact the people inside the recreational vehicle, officers found the bodies. Both had suffered gunshot wounds.

Police say the deaths appear to be a murder-suicide but the investigation is not complete. Investigators don’t believe a suspect is at large or that the public is in danger.
