ALLENTOWN, Pa. — An Easton man fatally shot a woman before killing himself early Thursday morning in Allentown, according to authorities.
The man, 53, and a 44-year-old woman were pronounced dead just after 1 a.m. Thursday at a home in the 2000 block of East Cedar Street, Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio said.

Authorities continue to notify family members, Buglio said.
Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan on Thursday said he would not release more information until autopsies are completed. Autopsies on both are scheduled for Friday.
