The differences in reporting tend to happen in cases like this, when details are leaking out to different news outlets. The cops haven't officially said anything about "murder suicide" or "double homicide", that's just been a contradiction in the reporting.
In all likelihood, the cops knew it was a murder/suicide right away, which is why that was the first version of events that got leaked out. They're probably just waiting for tests to come back -- the girl should have residue on her hand from firing the gun, her prints should be on the gun, they can examine the angle the bullet entered her head, etc. -- before they rule her death a suicide.
They could also wait for the toxicology since she just had a DUI arrest and talked about being high. But if everything else checks out, there may not be a need.
