A Georgia man entered a hair salon Monday morning and ordered everyone to leave, before fatally shooting his wife and then turning the gun on himself in an attempted suicide, according to police. The man has not been identified, but police described him as a 59-year-old Korean male. He might have been upset over a pending divorce, police said. According to a local news station, the wife worked at the salon. The husband has been taken to Gwinnett Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the head, police said. His condition is unknown. Police found the woman dead in the parking lot: She had been shot three times, once execution-style, according to police. The man allegedly entered the salon with the gun and let some people leave, but shot his wife as she began to exit, police said. The woman’s daughter was reportedly inside the hair salon when the shooting took place.
