Man Kills Wife, Girlfriend Then Self in Georgia, Gahanna Domestic Violence Incident Injures Woman

Two separate domestic violence incidents involving shootings and murder-suicides were reported this week. In Gahanna, Ohio, police responded to a shooting where a 78-year-old woman was wounded and an 87-year-old man died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound; the woman is in stable condition. In Dalton, Georgia, authorities investigated a case where a man allegedly shot and killed his wife at her apartment, then drove to his girlfriend's residence and killed her before taking his own life. The discovery came after the wife’s coworkers reported not hearing from her for days, prompting a welfare check that uncovered the shootings. Surveillance footage captured the suspect leaving the wife's apartment, and police tracked his vehicle to the girlfriend’s apartment complex where the bodies were found. The investigation is ongoing, with motives still unknown and families being notified.
