GRANDVIEW, Ind. — One of the two people found shot inside a Grandview home earlier this week in what police believe to be an attempted murder-suicide has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of the other person discovered.

Alan Lee Bennett, 52, of Grandview, was formally charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Linda F. Bowman, 64, of Grandview.

Indiana State Police said Bennett is in custody at an undisclosed hospital for treatment of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head that investigators believe happened soon after the murder of Bowman. When he is released from the hospital, Bennett will be immediately transferred to the Spencer County Jail.

Spencer County Coroner Rachel Gentry said Bowman died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the head.

State and local law enforcement were called to the 6200 block of North Highland Road in Grandview Wednesday afternoon where they found the couple — Bowman and Bennett — in their home, both shot. Bowman was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 911 caller told Spencer County Dispatch shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday that there were shots fired during an "ongoing domestic dispute," according to state police. State troopers, Spencer County Sheriff's deputies and Rockport City Police all responded to the home.

Bennett was taken to the hospital by helicopter.
