A Virginia man was charged with obstruction of justice after his wife was found fatally shot in their home on Wednesday, WUSA9 reported.
After responding to the Springfield home around 6 p.m. following reports of gunfire, police were unable to get inside the house despite knocking on the door and making phone calls to the residence.
Authorities then called in for additional help and finally got inside three hours later where they discovered 41-year-old Serena Hansken-Vierimaa shot dead.
Officials eventually came across the woman's husband, Aaron Vierimaa, 41, who was not injured. He was charged with obstruction of justice.
Further details on the case were not available.
The investigation into Hansken-Vierimaa's death is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477, text "TIP187" plus your message to CRIMES/274637 or call Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.
