Virginia Ex-Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Kills Wife and Self, Police Say

Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shot his wife Cerina inside their Annandale home shortly after midnight, then turned the gun on himself, police say. The same firearm was used, and their teenage children were present, with the son dialing 911. Investigators link the violence to a messy divorce and recent legal paperwork, noting prior domestic tensions, including a January police call where Fairfax alleged assault by his wife.
