Ex-Cop Shoots Wife, Self At Supermarket

"PHILIPSBURG, PA — A former state trooper killed his estranged wife with a shotgun inside a central Pennsylvania supermarket Thursday and then killed himself, days after she filed for divorce and two months after he was accused of beating her, police said.

"Mark R. Miscavish, who retired from the state police in 2011 after 15 years, killed Traci A. Miscavish at the County Market in Philipsburg, authorities said.

"State police investigators said that he began searching the store for her after arriving there around 10 a.m. He found her in an upstairs office and soon shot her and killed himself, authorities said.

"Investigators recovered the weapon but declined to say how many times it was fired."
