Attempted murder-suicide near Snellville kills woman, sends man to hospital

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Gwinnett County police say a woman is dead and a man, who was living in the same home, then tried to shoot himself. 

It happened around 9:40 p.m. Thursday at a home in a cul-de-sac on the 3000 block of Glen Summit Lane. According to Gwinnett County police, a friend of the female victim asked someone who had a key to the home to check on her after not hearing from her in a while. When the person who had the key showed up at the home, they discovered the woman's body. 

When they arrived, investigators say officers found a woman dead. Police could not say if the woman had been shot as of early Friday morning. 

The man suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to an area hospital. 

Police say this is being investigated as a domestic dispute that evolved into an attempted murder-suicide. 

Crew scene tape surrounded the home well into the early morning hours Friday. Crime scene technicians and investigators spent the evening combing over the scene for evidence, speaking to neighbors, and checking for surveillance video. 

The identities of those involved have not been released. 

Police could not immediately confirm if officers had been called out to the home prior to this incident.
