A man was killed and a woman was hospitalized with serious injuries early Thursday during an attempted murder-suicide in upper Manhattan, police said.
Cops were called to an apartment at W. 228th St. and Broadway in Marble Hill about 12:10 a.m. where they found a 41-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Responding officers also found a 43-year-old woman who had been shot repeatedly in the chest and upper body.
EMS rushed the woman to St. Barnabas Hospital where she’s expected to survive.
The man died at the scene, police said. His name was not immediately released.
Cops are investigating the theory that the man shot the woman during some domestic dispute, then turned the gun on himself.
No other injuries were reported.
In another recent New York City murder-suicide, on Oct. 30, a man shot his parents to death inside their Bronx apartment, then stepped outside the building and fatally turned the gun on himself, police said.
Cops responded to the three-story apartment building on Southern Blvd. near Avenue St. John in the South Bronx after receiving multiple 911 calls for shots fired about 9:30 p.m.
They found the victims’ 34-year-old son slumped over in a pool of blood on the steps outside the building with a handgun next to his body. He had shot himself in the torso and head, cops said.
