Logan County deputies investigating alleged murder-suicide

LOGAN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) - Deputies are investigating after a murder-suicide in Logan County Monday morning. 

"We haven't seen anything like this. This is a first and I hope it's the last,” said John Hamilton, who lives in the area. 

Hamilton was on his back deck around 8:30 a.m. when he heard gunfire. 

"Just blam, blam, blam. It sounded like three or four shots,” said Hamilton. “Pretty unusual for a Monday morning to hear that kind of thing." 

Soon, emergency vehicles and investigators flooded Wildwood Road near S. Coltrane Road and W Simmons Road.

According to the Logan County Sheriff Damon Devereaux, a woman was picking up her coworker for work and was followed by her husband.  

"[He] parked behind her vehicle so she couldn't get out,” said Devereaux. “Got out, shot and killed the driver, who was his wife. Then he went to the passenger side. The female was able to get out of the vehicle." 

Officials say the coworker ran to safety. Then the husband turned the gun on himself. 

A neighbor called 911, according to Devereaux.

"All I've got to say is it's crazy,” said Hamilton. 

The sheriff told KFOR the couple involved had a history of problems. 

"We've been out here on domestics for people that were involved before,” said Devereaux. “There's kind of a pattern of domestic abuse. I think he was recently arrested within the last several months for a domestic strangulation." 

Their identities will be released once their families are notified.
