Approximate area of shooting

Metro Police are investigating a fatal shooting in northwest Las Vegas, a police spokesman said.

A woman died from her injuries after being shot Monday afternoon at a home on Brookfield Cove Avenue, which is near the intersection of Grand Teton Drive and Cimarron Road, east of U.S. 95. A man at the home was taken to University Medical with critical injuries, police said. Investigators said the shooting was a case of domestic violence.

Homicide detectives were expected to execute a search warrant on the Brookfield Cove home this evening.

On Saturday, a woman was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in North Las Vegas after police responded to reports of a domestic disturbance in the 4900 block of Rancho Domingo Court. Inside the home, police found a 38-year-old North Las Vegas woman who had died of multiple gunshot wounds, police said. A 46-year-old man from Cibolo, Texas, was taken to the hospital in critical condition with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

The women's identities will be released by the Clark County Coroner's Office pending notification of family.

Will the domestic violence ever end? Anger is one thing but killing a women because you can't control yourself, well that's assanine.
To those of you that abuse your spouses:
BEATING ON SOMEONE THAT IS WEAKER OR A WOMEN, ONLY SHOWS YOUR STUPIDITY. THE PHYSICAL STRENGTH DOES NOT TELL PEOPLE HOW SMART YOU ARE, YOUR ACTIONS DO. God, I can't believe how flippen crazy people can be. People of our time has no conscience anymore. :~(
