SUAMICO, Wis. (AP) - Brown County sheriff’s deputies say a woman was fatally shot by the father of one of her children who then took his own life.
Authorities were called to a home in Suamico (soo-AH’-mih-koh) about 2:30 a.m. Monday where they found 34-year-old Brooke Fontaine suffering from a gunshot wound. They also found 28-year-old Sebastian Royal, of Milwaukee, dead of self-inflicted gunshot wound in the driveway.
WLUK-TV reports Fontaine was taken to the hospital where she died shortly before 7 a.m. Sheriff’s officials say Fontaine and Royal were involved in a custody dispute over their 14-month-old child. Authorities say Royal recorded a Facebook message for his son indicating he was, “going to do what’s fair.”
