April 16 (UPI) -- Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife, Cerina, are dead from an apparent murder suicide in their home in Annandale, Va.
Justin Fairfax, 47, shot and killed Cerina in the home and then shot himself, police said. The couple's two teenage children were home, and their son called 911 shortly after midnight Thursday.
Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said the same gun appears to have been used in both shootings.
The couple had been in an ongoing domestic dispute from "what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce," Davis said. Fairfax had recently been served paperwork that said when he was next scheduled for court in the divorce, Davis said.
