An Anderson County couple found dead on Cove Lane Monday afternoon apparently died when a husband shot his wife and then himself, authorities said.
A family member reported the 3 p.m. shooting north of Oliver Springs.
“Upon arrival, deputies learned Harvey Ferguson, 65, had apparently shot his wife, 62-year-old Alice Ferguson, and then turned the handgun on himself,” according to a news release from Anderson County Chief Deputy Mark Lucas.
“The family told investigators the Fergusons had a history of medical problems and were apparently in ill health,” the release said.
