A man survived a gunshot wound to his head Monday afternoon when the bullet was deflected, say police, but the woman who fired the shot then killed herself.

The Alexandria Police Department received a call around 2:45 p.m. about shots fired inside Culpepper Estate, a mobile home park in the 3000 block of Culpepper Road near Sterkx Road.

Responding officers found the pair with gunshots wounds to their heads. The unidentified 27-year-old man was responsive.

He was near a woman, identified Tuesday as 35-year-old Corneisha Davis. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man was taken to a local hospital. His wounds were not life-threatening, said police.

"Based on the evidence at the scene and the reports made by several parties, detectives concluded that Davis had shot the male, attempting to kill him, and she then turned the gun on herself," reads a Tuesday release from the department. "The shot that struck the male came from the side and was deflected, sparing him from a more serious injury."

An investigation is continuing.
