Monday, October 20, 2025 - An elderly man fatally sh0t his 93-year-old wife in the head before turning the gun on himself in an apparent murd£r-su!cide inside a senior group home in Arizona.
Jerome Woolums, 92, was found with a self-inflicted gunsh0t
wound to the head and still clutching the gun after allegedly shooting his
longtime spouse, Katharine, in their bedroom at a Mesa assisted living facility
around 4 a.m. Thursday, according to the Mesa Police Department, Fox10
Phoenix reported.
Police said the husband-turned-gunman was pronounced de@d at

Jerome shot his wife, Katharine, before taking his own life.”

several years, were living at the unidentified senior home near Alma School
Road and Mendoza Avenue while receiving ongoing medical care.
