Man found dead in Torrington was husband of shooting victim

TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) A man found dead in a Torrington home destroyed by fire has been identified as the husband of a woman who was shot multiple times at the house.

Police said Thursday that the medical examiner's office identified the man as 41-year-old Kevin Thompson. Authorities say a .45-caliber handgun was found near his body and they suspect he shot his wife. The cause of his death remains undetermined.

Thompson's wife, 45-year-old Kelly Thompson, was found with several gunshot wounds Wednesday morning as the house was burning down. She's listed in stable condition at Waterbury Hospital.

What motivated the shooting isn't clear.

Police say Kelly Thompson called 911 shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday and neighbors heard gunshots.

After the home burned down, authorities got a search warrant and found Kevin Thompson's body.
