PRESQUE ISLE, Maine (AP) — Maine State Police detectives are investigating an apparent murder-suicide following a standoff in Presque Isle that ended in the deaths of a man and a child.

State Police spokesman Stephen McCausland says officers were called early Sunday to a home on Reach Road.

He says officers discovered two bodies when they entered the home. One was of an adult male and the other was a child's.

McCausland says detectives and members or the evidence response team were at the scene Sunday and could return Monday.
