US police have launched an investigation after an Irishwoman was found dead in her home in Reno, Nevada along with her husband and two children.

The police have named the woman as 53-year-old Joan Huber, who, it is understood, was originally from Co Kerry.

Joan was found dead at her home shortly after 11 am local time in Reno, along with her husband, 50-year-old Adam Huber, and her two sons, 17-year-old Adam and 16-year-old Michael.

The local medical examiner’s office said that all four died from gunshot wounds.
