Cocke County Sheriff Armando Fontes today released a news statement detailing a Saturday murder-suicide incident. At 10:36 am, the Cocke County Sheriff's Office was called to 829 Nolichucky Circle in the Point Pleasant Community. This scene involved the death of two senior citizens, William Rines,79, and Lenora Rines, 81. Both individuals appeared to have died as a result of a gunshot wound. Investigating Officers have been collecting evidence and have clear evidence that the two individuals involved are the only persons involved in the incident. There is no evidence of a third-party being involved. I want to emphasize that there is no one else involved in this matter except for the two persons who are elderly, who have been dealing with medical issues and are now deceased. "The investigation is ongoing and we are looking into the specifics of this case. We would like the community to keep the families affected by this tragedy in their prayers," the sheriff said.
