CARLSTADT -- Friends and neighbors of a borough woman killed by her husband Wednesday took to social media to post condolences.

Michele Sabia, 44, died after being shot on the front lawn of her house by her husband Scott, 45.

Police found her body on the lawn after a report of shots fired, Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal said. After shooting her, Scott Sabia locked himself in the Union Street home.

A SWAT team found him dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, Grewal said. Their three children, ages 14, 11 and 9, escaped safely.

Michele Sabia worked as a teacher at the Washington School in Rutherford. The district said counselors would be available at the school Thursday and Friday.

"We mourn the tragic loss of our colleague, teacher, and friend Michele Sabia," a statement from Rutherford Superintendent Jack Hurley and Washington School Principal Bill Mulcahy said.
