SALMON, Idaho — A suspect has been arrested in connection with the deaths of two people found in a home near Paonia in western Colorado earlier this month, the Delta County Sheriff's Office said.
Michael Arnold, 69, and Donna Gallegos, 65, were found dead at their home on Black Bridge Road east of Paonia on Feb. 11.
Deputies said both victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and their deaths are being investigated as homicides. The sheriff's office said they believed the homicides were "an isolated, deliberate and targeted act," and there was no danger to the public.

Burns was arrested and charged with murder, the sheriff's office said. He waived extradition from Idaho and was booked into the Delta County Jail on Thursday, deputies said.
