Veteran stage and screen actor Albert Salmi shot and killed his estranged wife and then shot and killed himself, police said Tuesday.

Police found the bodies of Salmi, 62, and Roberta Salmi, 55, at their South Hill home Monday night. It appeared the deaths occurred between late Saturday and early Sunday, said Lt. Robert Van Leuven.Salmi, a native of Coney Island in New York, played Bo Decker in the original production of "Bus Stop."

That led to scores of stage, film and television series parts in shows such as "The Brothers Karamazov," "The Rainmaker," "Gunsmoke," "Bonanza" and "Barnaby Jones."
