Bay Shore, NY: Police: LI man kills ex-girlfriend, then self

BAY SHORE, N.Y. — Police on Long Island say a man fatally shot his ex-girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself during a dispute over visitation rights.

They say a 12-year-old boy, a 5-year-old girl and a 3-month-old girl were in the Bay Shore apartment at the time but were not injured.

Police say 27-year-old Jason Jenkins entered the apartment at 1 a.m. Tuesday with a shotgun and got into a dispute with Sanita Williams over visitation rights involving the infant. Police say they were the child's parents.

Williams lived in the apartment with her sister, who police say jumped from a window during the shooting, breaking her leg.

It wasn't immediately clear if the two older children belonged to the 26-year-old Williams or her sister.
