The Columbiana County Coroner has released the names of a husband and wife who were killed in an apparent murder-suicide in Liverpool Township last week.

The coroner identified the couple as 48-year-old Eric Mills and 61-year-old Lorie Klie.

Police responded to the 1100 Block of Parkwood Drive just after 12:30 a.m. Friday, February 28 for a 911 hang up. According to a press release, a woman told officers that her husband was breaking items in the home and she wanted him removed.

When police got to the scene, they knocked on the door, but no one answered. That's when they found the door to be unlocked.

Police entered the home and found Mills and Klie dead from a gunshot. Preliminary investigation revealed this incident to be an apparent murder-suicide.
