Police: Ex-boyfriend killed Tucson woman, then attempted suicide

TUCSON - Tucson Police believe the ex-boyfriend of a Tucson woman allegedly shot and killed her, then turned the gun on himself - but survived, police say.

The woman who lived in the southeast-side home where the shooting occurred was in her 30's, and was a mother of two young children. She had recently posted a security sign at her home, neighbors say.

"She was very gentle, very sweet, very sincere, and honest," one neighbor told News 4 Tucson.

Police say the woman called a friend to say her ex-boyfriend was at the door. The friend then called police, but it was too late; they broke through the window to get inside when no one answered.

P.S. I have been asked to post the daily DV Thread to an Original OP by one of the hosts versus one long thread, for more visibility. I agreed. If people in the group decide they do not want this, I will change back.
