The Cook County Medical Examiner's office identified the victims as 82-year-old Robert Wodka, and 80-year-old Maryann Wodka. Both were pronounced dead at the scene at 4:46 p.m.
Both victims apparently had been shot once, according to police. A handgun was found nearby, and police said a note was found in the home.

Autopsies were scheduled for Thursday.
