At 9:17 a.m. on Tuesday, deputies were sent to the area of Rippy Lane after a man made a 911 call claiming that he had shot his wife and was going to shoot himself.
At the scene, deputies found William K. Flinn, 77, and Lisa N. Flinn, 71, both dead inside of a vehicle on Rippy Lane just south of Hillsborough city limits.
