A woman was shot in front of two children in an attempted murder-suicide on Sunday, according to police.
Police said the shooting appeared to be a case of domestic violence. They said a man shot his alleged on-again, off-again girlfriend before turning the gun on himself.
The man went to his girlfriend’s apartment in the 5100 block of N. 40th Street and shot her in front of two children, police said. One child belonged to the girlfriend, and the other child belonged to her friend.
The children were not injured. The woman was transported to a local hospital for treatment with a lower extremity, non-life-threatening injury.
Police said after shooting his girlfriend, the man went outside and shot himself. He died at the scene.
No names had been released as of Sunday night, and police were continuing the investigation.
