PHOENIX – A man killed his wife and son before taking his own life on Sunday evening in a shocking murder-suicide in Phoenix, authorities said.

George Chin Ku, 68, shot three people at a home near 40th Street and Baseline Road, just north of South Mountain, before turning the gun on himself, according to the Phoenix Police Department.

When officers responded to a domestic violence call on the 3900 block of East Beverly Road around 4:45 p.m., they found Ku and his wife, 64-year-old Scarlett Shiu-Mei Ku, dead of gunshot wounds.

In addition, two men who’d been shot were still alive. However, Jeremy Jonathan Ku, the shooter’s 31-year-old son, died of his injuries after being taken to a hospital.
