An investigation is underway in Haverhill after a man and a woman were found shot to death inside a home Sunday evening, according to officials. 

Haverhill police received a request for a well-being check at the Broadway residence at about 5:43 p.m., Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker and Haverhill Chief of Police Robert Pistone said in a statement.

At the scene, officers found a man and a woman dead from apparent gunshot wounds, they said.
