DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines police say a man apparently shot and killed a woman and then killed himself. Police on Thursday identified the woman killed in the Wednesday afternoon shooting as 27-year-old Miranda Arlene Stierwalt.

Investigators believe she was shot by 33-year-old Daniel Francis Dooley, who then shot and killed himself. The couple lived together in the Des Moines home.

Officers found their bodies Wednesday after Stierwalt’s 10-year-old child entered the home and found her body.

The child called 911 and said she was injured.
