Officer Tiffany Mitchell of the St. George Police Department said in a video on social media that Bailey was in custody.
She said: ‘We have good news. We have the suspect in custody, everyone is safe. No one else was injured.
“So the stay-at-home, shelter-in-place order that we put in place in this area has been lifted. Once again, there are no suspects left open.”
Gail’s brother, Mike Mitchell, has also since shared updates on his social media about the couple’s deaths.
He said: ‘My sister Gail and her husband Blue Bailey were shot dead this evening. I’m numb.
‘Their own son killed them. My poor mother has lost three of her five children. You always think it only happens to someone else. Just call your brother or sister. Stay in contact.’
Bailey’s arrest ended a 16-hour search after officers were called to reports of shots fired at the address, where officers found her parents.
Officers had warned Bailey was considered armed and dangerous after she fled the scene in a yellow 2014 Kia Sol.
Gephardt Daily reported that police dispatches in the early hours of Wednesday morning indicated officers had located Bailey’s general area.
