Witnesses are now describing what they saw after two bodies were found in a parking lot in Bowers Beach on Saturday.

The Delaware News Journal reports they said that just before 4 p.m. Kenny and Lysandra Bowers came speeding into the parking lot.

They said the two had been fighting in the car and got out.

According to the accounts the fight turned physical.

They said Kenny pulled a gun and shot his wife then turned the gun on himself.

The paper said the witnesses did not want to be identified.

Meanwhile, Kenny’s daughter and Sandy’s stepdaughter Catlynn Bowers told the News Journal that despite being great parents they had anger issues.

She added,      “They loved each other. Unfortunately we can’t go back and change (what happened). Nobody can.”
