Two people died in an apparent murder-suicide in a Fairfax County apartment Monday morning, authorities said.

Police were called to a building at the Skyline Towers apartment complex in the 5500 block of Seminary Road in Bailey's Crossroads shortly before 10 a.m.

In a 23rd floor apartment, they found the bodies of a man and a woman. A weapon was also found inside the apartment.

Authorities said there is no risk to the community and they are not looking for a suspect, reported News4's Mark Segraves. Crime scene technicians and homicide detectives were on the scene.

Police have not yet commented on the relationship of the deceased. There are no records of previous 911 calls to that apartment, Segraves reported.

A witness told Segraves that he heard a woman screaming and as many as five shots fired. Police would only say that multiple shots were fired.

Several residents of the building called 911.

Authorities said the apparent murder-suicide not related to a Friday incident at the apartment complex, when police were called to respond to a person making threats against someone else in the complex.
