An FBI agent stabbed his estranged wife to death before shooting himself dead.
Donna Fisher, 54, was discovered with multiple stab wounds outside her Arundel Boulevard home, in Crownsville, Maryland, on Wednesday morning.
Her recently estranged husband David Raynor, 52, who worked for the Baltimore Field Office, was found nearby with stab wounds and a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The pair, who were due in court today for a divorce hearing, were pronounced dead by emergency responders on arrival, Capital Gazette reports.

Police say they received a 911 call at just after 8am Wednesday morning from an unidentified caller, saying that Fisher had asked her to call 911 because she was being threatened by her husband.
Officers responded to the domestic abuse call and found the victims outside the $600,000.
Homicide detectives have cordoned off the scene and the bodies were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) for autopsy, according to the local CBS affiliate.
