Bungalow Shooting Leaves 1 Dead, 1 Critical

"OAKLAND, CA — A domestic dispute turned deadly this afternoon after a man shot a woman in the head then turned the semi-automatic pistol on himself on an otherwise peaceful block of 67th Avenue.

"Police are investigating what appears to be an homicide and attempted suicide reported at 2:29 p.m., according to Acting Sgt. Bruce Worden.

"Paramedics pronounced the woman dead on the scene. They took the man, who appears to have shot himself in the head with the pistol after killing the woman, to Highland Hospital in critical condition.

"Both were in their late 30s to early 40s, Worden said. Neither has been identified by police.

"Police and neighbors said officers had been called out to the single-story beige bungalow in the 2500 block of 67th Avenue several times in the past because of fights between the couple."
