SEATTLE Court documents show the man who opened fire inside a Bellevue tavern Monday shot and killed his estranged wife because she was seeing another man.
Police say it was a case of domestic violence homicide. The suspect allegedly planned the shooting, found a gun, and targeted the woman at her workplace.
“It s an unspeakable tragedy. It s devastating for families and for the surviving children, and it happens too often,” said Judy Chen, executive director of the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
