Snowflake-Taylor Police Department officers are investigating the deaths of a husband and wife Troy Templeton, 62, and Cynthia Templeton, 53, who were members of the Arizona Rangers.
According to the Snowflake-Taylor Police Department, at approximately 7:00 p.m. on June 15th, officers responded to a welfare check at a residence near the intersection of Center Street and Main Street in Taylor, Arizona.

Just saw on TV that the murderer was the step son and murderer of his mother. He was found in Missouri, shot a cop with a vest and died when the cop shot back.
