Two people have died following a domestic-related shooting in Arlington Heights over the weekend.
About 7:30 p.m. Saturday, a person called 9-1-1 and told dispatchers he had killed his wife and dog and was planning to kill himself, Arlington Heights police said.
When officers arrived at the home in the 300 block of West Campbell Street they found Cynthia K. Armstrong, 74, unresponsive at the dining room table and Ronald Armstrong, 76, unresponsive, but breathing, in an adjoining room, holding a gun, police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
The family’s dog was also found dead, police said.
Cynthia Armstrong was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:19 p.m. while Ronald Armstrong died Sunday at 4:48 p.m. at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, the office said.
Police believe the shooting was domestic-related.
The shooting remains under investigation.
