According to the Associated Press, the Spokesman-Review, and other sources, a man entered a medical center complex in Spokane, Washington, around 9:30 this morning and fatally shot his wife before turning his gun on himself.
The woman reportedly worked at the clinic, the Rockwood Cancer Clinic on the Deaconess Medical Center campus in downtown Spokane. No one else was harmed in the shooting, according to police, and the couple’s two children have been found safe.
The AP quotes Spokane police spokeswoman Monique Cotton as saying: “This is an apparent domestic violence incident.”
