CHICAGO (WBBM/STMW) — A man is dead after apparently turning a gun on himself after apparently shooting his estranged wife Tuesday afternoon in north suburban Niles, police said.
The shooting happened in the 8100 block of Prospect Court at 3:47 p.m., according to Niles Police Sgt. Tom Davis.
It appears the shooting stemmed from a domestic situation in which the couple may have been going through a divorce, Davis said. The man shot his estranged wife when she showed up for visitation and then turned the gun on himself. He was found dead at the scene.
The woman was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge by Niles paramedics and was conscious and talking when police arrived, Davis said.
The incident remained under investigation by Niles police Tuesday evening.
