A SWAT team responding to a hostage situation found their bodies when officers stormed their adult daughter's apartment near Sparks High School following an hours-long standoff on Tuesday. Tuesday's incidents began at 6:30 a.m. when Reno police received a call of a man found dead at a home in northwest Reno where Debby Constantino had been living. As they were investigating, they learned that another roommate, Debbie Constantino, was missing. Police did not say how they were killed or what kind of gun was used. Without naming her at the time, Reno police Lt. William Rulla told the Reno Gazette-Journal she had been a victim in an earlier kidnapping and domestic incident involving Mark Constantino, and that officers tracking her cellphone located her inside the Sparks apartment with her estranged husband. Upon arriving at the apartment, officers knocked on the door and heard several shots fired, said Deputy Chief Tom Robinson, of the Reno Police Department, in an earlier interview. The suspect told the officers "give me 15 minutes to gather my thoughts or I'll kill her," Reno Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson told the newspaper. Police began negotiating with the suspect, but officers eventually used explosives to blow the door open and found the couple dead inside.
– A pair of ghost hunters were found dead in a Nevada apartment yesterday following an hours-long standoff with SWAT teams in what is likely a domestic-violence incident, the AP reports. They were identified by police as paranormal investigators Mark and Debby Constantino, who had made numerous appearances on Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. The AP reports the couple had a history of domestic incidents, and Debby had taken a restraining order out against Mark last week. They were scheduled to appear in court in December over their pending divorce. Police received a call after Debby's male roommate was found dead in their home yesterday morning, the Gazette-Journal reports. Debby was missing, and police tracked her cellphone to the apartment of her and Mark's adult daughter. When officers knocked on the door, they heard shots fired and a man saying, "Give me 15 minutes to gather my thoughts or I'll kill her." After failed attempts to negotiate, police blew open the apartment door and found Mark and Debby dead inside. Police have so far not released a cause of death, according to the AP. Mark is suspected in the murder of Debby's unidentified roommate. (These 79 celebrities have been charged with domestic abuse.)
