TIGARD, Ore. (AP) — Police in the Portland suburb of Tigard say a husband and wife were found fatally shot at an apartment complex in an apparent murder-suicide.
Officers found the bodies of 34-year-old Jeffrey Njus and 31-year-old Ilona Njus outside an apartment in a breezeway Tuesday night at the Arbor Heights Apartments.
Police say the woman’s mother told officers she saw the man shoot her daughter, then turn the gun on himself.
The couple’s 2-year-old daughter was found sleeping unharmed in the apartment. Lt. Erick Boothby says state caseworkers have placed the child with the woman’s mother.
