WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Update: A 42-year-old man is dead and a 47-year-old woman is hurt in an attempted murder-suicide in Warner Robins, according to a press release from the Warner Robins Police Department.
It happened just before 2:45 p.m. on Monday afternoon in the 100 block of Garland Terrace off of South Pleasant Hill.
According to the press release, a man shot a woman multiple times in the Warner Robins home.
The man then shot himself and he would eventually die from the gunshot wound, the press release said. The woman is in critical condition at Atrium Navicent, the police department said.
On Monday evening, 13WMAZ learned more information about the relationship between the woman shot and the man who allegedly shot her.
The Warner Robins Police Department says that the man and the woman lived together "as a family unit" and that they shared a 4-year-old child together who was listed as a victim in the press release.
According to the release, the police were called to meet with the father of the shooter who was at the home to pick up his grandson.
Police say that he picked up his grandson outside the house, which is when he heard shots ring out inside the home.
When officers arrived, they found two people shot, but they were "showing signs of life," the police department said.
Houston Medical Center EMS then arrived and provided aid to the victims, the press release said.
The Warner Robins Police Department is still investigating the shooting. Because it was an act of family violence, the department is not releasing the names of the victims.
If you have any information, you can reach out to the detective handling the case at 478-302-5380 or Macon Regional Crime Stoppers at 478-742-2330.
