GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Glendale Police Department is investigating an apparent murder-suicide on Tuesday night that left a man and a woman dead.

At around 9 p.m. on Nov. 28, officers responded to reports of a shooting at a home near Peoria and 47th Avenues. That's where they found 39-year-old Katrina Comtois, who had life-threatening gunshot wounds. Comtois was taken to a hospital where she later died.

"Details of the call indicated the suspect, who was related to the victim, had fled the scene in a vehicle," Gina Winn with the Glendale Police Department said.

Officers found the suspect, 52-year-old Scott McKervey, in his car near Peoria and 59th Avenues.

Glendale Police say the suspect who shot a woman Tuesday night near 47th and Peoria Avenues had shot himself as police were trying to take him into custody. Both the victim and suspect have life-threatening injuries, investigators say.

"The suspect exited on foot with a firearm and, while officers were giving him commands, the suspect shot himself. The suspect has been transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries," Winn said.

McKervey later died at the hospital.

Investigators say the victims were long-term partners and their children were inside the home when Comtois was shot. The children were not hurt.

No further details were released.
