An ongoing domestic dispute turned deadly Thursday morning when police say a man shot and killed his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself in northwest Oklahoma City.
Staff Sgt. Keith Cornman said officers received a 911 call from a child about 7:30 a.m. Thursday about a shooting at a home in the 5900 block of Gaelic Glen Drive. He said officers arrived and found a woman who had been fatally shot inside a home.
The woman was lying in the hallway of the home, unresponsive. Police said they found her boyfriend in the bathroom with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Cornman said the man is still alive but was taken to OU Medical Center in critical condition.
He said officers were called out to the home Wednesday night because of a domestic dispute. He said the woman returned Thursday morning to pick up her things when the shooting occurred.
At least three children were at the home, but Cornman said it doesn't appear they witnessed the shooting.
Names of the man and woman are being held pending notification of family members.
