LACEY — A man and a woman were found dead Tuesday in a home in what police were calling a homicide-suicide.

Lacey police and the Thurston County SWAT team responded to a report of a disturbance at the house, Lacey police Cmdr. Ed Sorger told The Olympian newspaper.

The bodies were found inside.

Identities were not immediately released, but the male victim was reportedly a Thurston County corrections officer who was under investigation, accused of having sexual contact with a female inmate.

He was due to be re-interviewed at noon Tuesday by sheriff’s detectives, The Olympian reported.
