A 3-year-old was found unharmed inside a Hoover house where two people were found dead Tuesday morning, according to police and neighbors.
Police were called to the 700 block of Highland Manor Court, just off Sulphur Springs Road, shortly after 9 a.m.
Capt. Keith Czeskleba and Chief Clay Morris said the Hoover 911 center received a call at 9:03 a.m. that a husband and wife were unresponsive at their residence after being discovered by a family member.
The wife was confirmed to be former WBRC sports reporter Christina Chambers.
Hoover Fire-Medics responded to the residence and pronounced the couple dead from gunshot wounds.
Although the investigation is in its early stages, police said it appears these deaths are the result of a murder-suicide and there is no threat to the public related to the case.
Chambers joined WBRC Fox 6 in November 2015.
