A woman is dead and her husband in custody following a shooting in Helena Thursday.

Helena police responded about 11 a.m. to a domestic incident in the 8400 block of Shoreside Lane in the Timberlake subdivision. When officers arrived on the scene, they found a woman dead from an apparent gunshot wound, said Chief Pete Folmar.

The woman’s husband was taken into custody. The chief said the couple had a history of domestic incidents.

“The Helena Police Department would like to assure our community that this does not appear to be a random act and it is believed to be the result of a domestic altercation,” according to a release issued by Folmar. “The investigation into the facts of this case is ongoing and no further information is available.”

Just four months ago, another domestic incident led to a murder-suicide in the same subdivision.

Helena police and firefighters in April responded to a home in the 3600 block of Timber Oak Circle. Officers found 43-year-old Danielle Michael Hines dead from a single gunshot wound. As officers searched the home further, they found Roland Seaburn Hines, 45, also dead from a single gunshot wound. Witnesses told police that before the shots were fired, the couple had been engaged in a heated argument.
