Man chases wife and shoots her in front of neighbor
PALM COAST (AP) – A man chased his wife through their neighborhood and then shot her to death in front of a neighbor’s house before dying of a gunshot wound himself.
Officials described the deaths Wednesday of 50-year-old Carl Martin and 35-year-old Shannon Martin as an apparent murder-suicide. But they said the husband’s fatal shot may have come from the gun of the neighbor who fired shots at the husband during the commotion outside his home.
Police say the wife was granted a temporary injunction against her estranged husband earlier this month and the couple was to appear in court over the matter on Thursday.
