August 27, 2009 --A Staten Island man called 911 this morning with a startling message.
"I just shot my wife," John Pizon told emergency workers, explaining it was an "accident."
But when authorities arrived at their Heartland Village home, they found the body of Pizon, his mortally wounded wife Karen and a dead pet cat. Sources said Pizon had turned the gun on himself immediately after his frantic 911 call.
Sources said the couple were arguing about financial problems when shortly before 10 a.m. John Pizon fired a .22 caliber bullet into the back of his wife's head.
He then placed the call to 911 and told them the door would be unlocked when emergency workers arrived.
When they showed up, the 52-year-old husband was lying on the floor, dead from a gunshot wound to the head. His 50-year-old wife was rushed to Staten Island University Hospital North, where she died about an hour later.
The carcass of the shot cat was also found.
