Police Find Three Dead After Domestic Violence Call
Posted on Jan 2, 2011 5:30pm PST
When a police officer responded to a domestic violence call on Tuesday night she discovered three dead people, one of which was a fellow cop.
A female officer responded to a domestic violence call around 7:30 p.m. in Arlington, TX. A second call was dispatched to the same location shortly after when neighbors reported hearing gunshots at the Arbrook Park Apartments. When officers responded to that call they discovered the three deceased inside.
Sources close to the Dallas-Forth Worth police department reported that the female officer was still considered a rookie cop who was on a probationary period with the department. She had been responding to a call where a woman claimed that he ex-husband had assaulted her. These same sources claim that the man shot his ex-wife and the officer before pointing the gun at himself.
At this time the police department is not releasing the names of the deceased until the next of kin have been notified.
If you are a victim of domestic violence end the abuse by working with a family lawyer.
