A Minnesota man has been arrested on murder charges after police say he shot and killed his wife and then opened fire on his next door neighbors.
Jason, 48, is facing three second degree murder charges in the fatal shooting of his wife, Angela, 47, and the shootings of two neighbors, a 12 year old girl and her sister, 29, who were critically injured. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Police say the incident happened Sunday night just before 11 p.m. According to Fox News, Jason told investigators the shooting began after an argument with his wife.
Police say he first shot Angela in the neck and torso, then turned his gun on his neighbors, who were outside loading a moving truck.
According to reports, the girl was shot in the head and her sister was shot several times in the leg and hip. Reports say the girl was holding her sister’s 1 year old daughter at the time and used her own body to shield the baby. The girl was reported to be in critical condition, and it was unclear at the time whether she would recover.
When officers arrived, Angela was found dead in a detached garage, and Jason was in the basement firing shots, screaming and throwing things. After a standoff in which police say he fired about 40 rounds, he was taken into custody. According to investigators, he admitted shooting his wife and injuring his neighbors.
