Police say a man killed his wife and then turned the gun on himself Monday night in Deer Park.
Police say they responded to a 911 call at a home on Eastwood Avenue and found 35-year-old Cathiana Bonny and her husband 34-year-old Paul Bonny laying on the ground in front of their home with gunshot wounds.
Police say Paul Bonny shot Cathiana Bonny and then himself.
Both were taken to the hospital, where Cathiana Bonny died and where Paul Bonny was treated for serious injuries.
Police say the couples' two daughters, ages 12 and 6, were inside a car when the shooting unfolded at the end of the driveway. The children are now staying with family, police say.
Authorities say they had been called to the couple's home once this summer for a verbal dispute, but no arrests were made.
A neighbor says the couple moved in last June.
"They're nice people. I got to know them in the last few months when they moved in. There was no indication whatsoever," says one neighbor. "Kids were pleasant ... and I was just talking to Cathy yesterday."
