How can someone be charged with two counts of first degree murder?

It goes something like this: Two people are discovered to be dead. There are signs (such as bullet holes, stab wounds) that they did not die of natural causes. The police investigate. There is evidence that these two people were killed by a specific person, who killed them deliberately, for some kind of personal gain, rather than in self defense. The police therefore lay charges of two counts of first degree murder.
