SUN CITY, AZ - The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what may be the second "mercy killing" in the town of Sun City in less than a year.
According to MCSO spokesperson Joaquin Enriquez, sheriff deputies received a curious call from a home near Del Webb Boulevard and Tropicana Circle just before 9 a.m. Wednesday.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they found an elderly man, a weapon, and the man’s wife inside.
According to Enriquez, it appears the woman inside died from multiple gunshot wounds.
The investigation is still in the preliminary stages.
If the incident is determined to be a "mercy killing", it would be the second in Sun City in just nine months.
In November 2012, George Sanders was arrested for killing his wife Virginia Sanders. Sanders was given probation in March.
Officials have not yet released the names of anyone involved.
