GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — Two people died in a murder-suicide shooting in Gainesville on Saturday.

The Gainesville Police Department was called to investigate a reported domestic disturbance in the 6100 block of NW 30th Terrace just before 6 a.m., according to a GPD news release.

A family member called police after the suspect pointed a gun at the victim’s head during an argument. Police said the family member tried to deescalate the situation, but reported hearing gunshots.

Once they were outside the home, officers tried to contact the suspect over the phone.

“Due to the serious nature of the call, reports of additional firearms inside the residence, history of domestic-related issues and the prior military experience of the suspect, the SWAT Team and Negotiations Response Team were activated and responded to assist,” the GPD news release said.

The SWAT team found the suspect and victim dead inside the home with gunshot wounds. It is believed the suspect shot the victim before turning the gun on themselves.

“The Gainesville Police Department extends its condolences to the families and loved ones impacted by this tragic incident,” GPD said.
