SUFFOLK, Va. — A Suffolk woman is dead after her estranged husband shot her. He then fled across state lines before shooting himself, police said.
On Monday just before 8 a.m., emergency communications got a call for a welfare check on 57-year-old Karen Glover.
Before police arrived at the neighborhood near Downtown Suffolk, the woman's family found Karen with multiple gunshot wounds at a home on the 100 block of Bute Street, according to the Suffolk Police Department. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The department said the investigation led detectives to focus on Karen's estranged husband, 60-year-old Kevin Glover, of Virginia Beach.
Police believe Kevin forced his way into the home and shot his estranged wife several times Wednesday around 10 p.m., before traveling to Philadelphia. That's where officers with the Philadelphia Police Department found him dead in his car with a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday morning.
"Wow, people are crazy. That's sad. That's scary too, scary," said a neighbor in Suffolk who wanted to remain anonymous.
She recounted what she saw Thursday morning.
"A whole bunch of police cars. [Police] came knocking at my door. That's when I knew something was up," the neighbor said.
She and a few people who live in the area told 13News Now they did not know the Glovers, and they did not recall hearing gunfire either.
Suffolk police said the investigation is still ongoing at this time. No motive has been released.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.
