A 55-year-old man shot his wife and then killed himself in Mayagüez, in events reported at about 12:15 AM on Calle G in Parcelas Soledad, said Inspector Joel González, director of the Mayagüez Criminal Investigations Corps (CIC). González said the couple had arrived home after being out at a business when an argument began. The woman tried to get into a vehicle, the man fired several shots and wounded her, then forced her into the residence.
Police arrived, spoke with him, and he let his wife leave. As officers continued talking with the man, he decided to shoot himself, González told Primera Hora. Once the victim got out of the home she was taken to a hospital in the area; she was in stable condition with a bullet wound in a thigh.
González said the couple was married and had no children. The Mayagüez CIC is investigating.
