Yesterday at approximately 1:30 pm the Anniston Police Department was dispatched to a business in the 700 block of Noble Street regarding a gunshot victim. Upon arrival officers located two gunshot victims, one a 51 year old white female and the second, a 55 year old male. Medical personnel were immediately requested to respond to the scene. It was learned that the male was deceased, and the female was still breathing. Medical staff requested that a life flight be brought to the area of the scene to transport the female to the hospital.
Investigators on the scene learned that the male and female were formally in a dating relationship that had ended. Video evidence collected from the business showed that the male came to the place of business, shot the female, and then turned the weapon on himself and took his own life.
The female victim was flown to UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Al. She is currently listed in critical condition in the Intensive Care Unit.
