Police on Monday have identified the couple who died in a murder-suicide, but they were still trying to determine what led the woman to kill her husband and herself.
Gwinnett County police said Ms. Hyun “Mickey” Ok Yu shot her husband, Mr. Shan Chun Yu, in the head while he was sitting at the computer Saturday night, police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter said.
She then turned the gun on herself.
It was a rare case of murder-suicide: A woman killing her husband.
A family member called police just before 11 p.m. about the shooting inside the home at 6130 Zachery Drive, Cpl. Ritter said.
The 46-year-old husband died at the home and Ms. Ok Yu, 36, died on arrival at Gwinnett Medical Center, Cpl. Ritter said.
A woman shooter in a murder-suicide case was rare.

We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
