Nail Salon Shooter Found Dead In Parking Lot

"WEST NEW YORK, NJ — A man and woman who have three children were both killed last night, the woman shot in the West New York nail salon where she worked and the man found dead in a nearby municipal parking lot, the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed.

"Investigators classified the deaths as a murder/suicide.

"The woman was shot in the head at Solo Nails, at Bergenline Avenue and 50th Street, around 5 p.m. and the man, who sources said had a history of domestic violence, was found dead a short time later in the parking lot off Bergenline between 51st and 52nd streets.

"The nail salon’s owner was also pistol-whipped during the attack, Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Gene Rubino said.

"Rubino said the man, 39, called the woman, 36, and arrived at the salon a few minutes later.

"Also in the store were the couple’s 17-year-old son, the owner and two customers, he said.

"The man may have scuffled with the woman and then fired two shots, hitting her in the head, said Rubino. The man then scuffled with the owner before pistol-whipping him and ran out of the store, he said.

"The man’s body was then found in the parking lot with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Rubino."
