On Monday, a man and woman died in an apparent murder-suicide in Los Angeles.
Roland Leland, 70, allegedly attacked his wife, who was in her 40s, with an ax before fatally shooting her. He then turned the gun on himself, CBSNews.com reported.
After hearing cries for a help, a neighbor went to check on the couple in their apartment and was shot in the mouth. She was transported to the hospital and listed in critical condition, CBS said.
The neighbor's husband, Derrick Andrews, said his wife was scheduled for surgery at the hospital, where she remained in critical condition on Monday night.
"By the time I was waking up, my wife was next door already," Andrews said. "Then five minutes later, we heard gunshots."
