"It's Not Like Him At All"

"TAMPA, FL — Their children were in school when it happened.

"At about 9 a.m. Thursday, deputies say, Pedro Mendoza, 42, shot his estranged wife, police dispatcher Deanna Mendoza, 34, and then turned the gun on himself.

"It happened in a black car parked in the driveway of their home at 8361 Galewood Circle.

"She was sitting in the driver's seat, and Pedro Mendoza got in the passenger's seat. At some point, Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies say, he shot her.

"Then he climbed into the back seat and shot himself.

"The couple, who married in 2010, had not been getting along for a while, neighbors say. Deanna Mendoza had moved out of their home, and neighbors say the pair often argued.

"Some said they believe the fights were about their children. They both had children, though none in common, deputies say.

"Still, several who know the couple said they never saw the pair's fights become physical.

"`It's not like him at all,` said neighbor Janel Delgado."
