Husband and wife found dead inside Nottingham home after apparent murder-suicide, police say

A husband and wife were found dead in a Nottingham home Friday morning after Baltimore County Police responded to reports of a shooting, according to the department.

Officers responded to the 9000 block of Tammy Road around 10:15 a.m., department spokesperson Joy Lepola-Stewart said. Paul Waclawski, 80, called officers saying he shot his wife.

Police said they found him and Shirley Waclawski, 73, dead inside the home.

Police said the incident is isolated and there is no active threat to the community. Lepola-Stewart described the incident as “domestic-related.”

The house is on a residential street lined with single-family homes, not far from a middle school and the Perry Hall Shopping Center in the northeast region of the county.

There were two murder-suicides in Baltimore County last year. In August, a woman, man and child were found dead in Catonsville. In April, Karen Franklin, 59, and her husband, Gary Franklin, 63, died in their Owings Mills home.
