A 30-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman are dead after Mobile police say the man shot her during an argument early Sunday morning and then killed himself.
On Sunday around 12:52 a.m., police officers got a call about a domestic-related shooting at the 1000 block of Burdette Drive in south Mobile near I-10, per a Mobile Police Department statement. When officers arrived on the scene, they found a woman with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to the hospital, where she died of her injuries.
While at the scene, officers got another call about shots fired a few blocks away, at the 1000 block of Marengo Drive. There, they found a man who appeared to have died after shooting himself.
