PUTNAM COUNTY, Georgia – A man killed his wife and them in Putnam County on Wednesday, according to a report from Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills.

Sills said 64-year-old Timothy Brown called the sheriff's office around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and said he had just killed his wife, Vicky Brown, and was planning to kill himself.

When officers entered the couple's home in the 800 block of Harmony Road, they found the couple dead in their bed, according to Sills. There were also two dead dogs in the bedroom.

According to the report, the dogs were killed with a semi-automatic pistol and Vicky Brown with a .22 caliber rifle.
