An investigation is currently underway in Cumberland County after a grim discovery was made Thursday night in the Lake Tansi community. Deputies and security officers found a couple, both aged 56, deceased in their home from apparent gunshot wounds during a welfare check prompted by concerns for their well-being. The deceased have been identified as Gary Agopsowicz and Angela Fifelski, as confirmed by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.

According to a report by WVLT, the welfare check occurred at 5029 Shoshone Loop, where the couple resided. After arriving at the scene, security officers from the Lake Tansi Security Office discovered, responding to the initial call, the bodies of Agopsowicz and Fifelski.

The incident, which took place approximately at 10:13 p.m. Central Time, has led to the involvement of detectives to demystify the circumstances that led to this tragedy. A statement obtained by WBIR notes that the couple was married and that there is currently no perceived threat to public safety in the wake of this incident. The ongoing investigation hopes to uncover further details regarding the deaths.

As protocol dictates, the bodies were transferred to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. "We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Gary Agopsowicz and Angela Fifelski. Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they navigate this heartbreaking loss," said Lt. Gary Howard, signifying the community's sober reflection and sorrow. This sentiment was reported by WATE following the incident.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Office remains tight-lipped about the details as the investigation is active. However, they have reassured the public in communications that this appears to be an isolated event. Further updates on the case are expected as the Cumberland County detectives continue piecing together the events that culminated in the tragic loss of Agopsowicz and Fifelski.
