From the mouths of assistant university police chiefs:

A man and a woman were shot to death in the University of Washington’s architecture building Monday morning in what may have been a murder-suicide, university police said.

Officers responded to reports of gunfire found the two in an office on the fourth floor of Gould Hall, Assistant University Police Chief Ray Wittmier said. He said a weapon was also found in the room.

“It’s quite possible that the suspect is one of the deceased,” Wittmier said. [Emphasis added.]

Is he confusing suspect with perpetrator, or is he being coy?
