MACON, Ga. — One person is dead and another is injured after an apparent planned suicide between a pair of Macon siblings ended in a house fire early Tuesday.
Bibb County coroner Leon Jones says it happened around 3 a.m. in the 3500-block of Greenbriar Road East -- that's near Log Cabin Drive and Edna Place.
According to Lt. Sean Defoe with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, a brother and sister planned to take their own lives.
He says they set the house on fire and the brother shot himself. The sister tried to shoot herself, but the gun jammed. She escaped from the house with minor burns.
Jones identified the male victim as Carlos Rivera. He did not have the woman's name.
Deputy coroner Lonnie Miley says the Macon-Bibb Fire Department and the sheriff's office are still on the scene investigating.
