PHOENIX – Police are investigating a double shooting in Scottsdale that took place near 7th Street and Greenway on Tuesday evening.
Police say a 52-year-old woman was shot several times inside her home at around 4 p.m. and was taken to the hospital. Her medical condition has not been released but she is expected to survive.
At about 6 p.m. the officers entered the home where they believed the suspect, whom witnesses said was the woman’s boyfriend, had barricaded himself and found him dead.
Dan Rayhorn, a neighbor, tells 3TV, “This normally doesn’t go on in this neighborhood. It’s usually pretty safe and pretty quiet so this is kind of a shocker. I really don’t know what’s going on other than I heard it was a shooting…that’s a little out of character for our street.”
Investigators are now trying to determine whether the man died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot or if he was also the victim of foul play.

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?
