NEW RINGGOLD, Pa. (AP) - Police say they’re investigating an attempted murder-suicide in eastern Pennsylvania.
It happened around 9 p.m. Saturday at a West Penn Township home, located about 67 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Police and emergency responders found a husband and wife suffering from gunshot wounds.
Officials say the couple was treated on scene and taken to a landing zone where they were flown to area hospitals.
West Penn Township Police Chief Brian Johnson tells The (Pottsville) Republican-Herald (https://bit.ly/1NfOGL1 ) that 53-year-old Michael Mindock III shot his wife in the back and then allegedly put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
Johnson says Mindock’s wife, 56-year-old Brigette Mindock, was released Sunday from Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown. Michael Mindock remains hospitalized.
Johnson says the investigation is ongoing. No charges have been filed.
