JEMISON, Ala. (AP) — A woman fighting with her husband ran into a doctor's office and begged the staff to call the police before the man shot her dead, ran to their home nearby and holed up there during a lengthy standoff with police, officials said Monday.

The couple lived near the doctor's office, and the woman apparently fled there from their home in small-town Jemison because it was the closest place to go, police chief Shane Fulmer said. He did not release the couple's names.

"The first thing she said when she came in was, 'Call the police,'" Fulmer said. He said six to seven people — all employees, including the doctor — were in the office at the time.

Her husband followed her in and shot her, then returned home, Fulmer said. There, police talked to him over the phone and a loudspeaker. Police didn't shoot any bullets but fired tear gas into the home, Fulmer said. The man came outside and had a gunshot wound to the head. Fulmer called it self-inflicted but said police didn't know exactly when it happened.

The man was taken to a hospital and will be charged, Fulmer said.

That gun in the house made them a lot safer, yes?

Guns, guns, guns. Also, men are the number one killer of women in the U.S.

We should do something about these guns and men.

Ban the men. Society could still function with a man to woman ratio of like 1:10.

Yes, studies show that guns in the home are especially deadly for women.

An argument.

An argument.

Men are so silly.

Leading cause of death for women unintentional injuries then homicide.

Men? A man doesn't lay hands on a woman, let alone shoots her.

I'm liking this!! For real though, when is the last time you heard of a woman killing her wife and kids over an argument?

So what do you call him then? Don't disown him now.

I don't call him anything. All I know is that he isn't a man.
