The discovery was made by a family member around 9 a.m. on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
A 3-year-old child was also located in the house, but was unharmed. Hoover Fire-Medics responded to the residence and pronounced a male and a female, later identified as Chambers, deceased from gunshot wounds.
“Although the investigation is in its early stages, it appears these deaths are the result of a murder/suicide and there is no threat to the public related to this case,” police said in a press release issued on social media.
Chambers began her career in Columbus, Georgia, at WLTZ NBC 38 as a sports and news reporter. Chambers then moved to Comcast Sports Southeast in Atlanta, where she served as the Auburn University beat reporter and sideline reporter for Friday night high school football games.
