North Texas couple found dead in home after disturbance call

A husband and wife were found dead after a 911 call about a domestic disturbance in a home near McKinney, according to the Collin County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies were called to the home in the 2200 block of The Crossings Drive in the small town of Lowry Crossing about 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

After they got no response from anybody inside the home, the sheriff’s tactical team entered the home and found the bodies of Jimmy and Rosemary Blackburn and a handgun.

Capt. Jim Moody declined to describe it as a murder-suicide at that point in the investigation.
