Man, woman found shot to death in Anne Arundel County home

A man and a woman were found shot to death inside an Anne Arundel County home on Jan. 22, police said.

Around 1:40 p.m., officers responded to the home in the 100 block of Harwood Road for a well-being check after a person who knew the residents grew concerned after not seeing or hearing from them for several days, police said. 

Once inside the home, police found 78-year-old Sharon Ann Waldow dead on the main level and 62-year-old Mark Edward Waldow dead on the lower level of the home. Both had gunshot wounds, according to police. 

A gun was also found at the scene. According to officers, the incident appears to be domestic-related. 

The shooting is under investigation, and anyone with information is urged to call detectives at 410-222-4731.
