CLEVELAND, Ohio — A 50-year-old man shot and wounded his wife Saturday before he took his own life, according to police.

The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Saturday at the couple’s apartment on Quincy Avenue and East 40th Street in the city’s Central neighborhood. Police initially said the man’s death was a homicide.

An ambulance took the man’s wife to University Hospitals for treatment of a gunshot wound to the upper right thigh. She survived the shooting, but an updated condition was not available on Monday.

The woman told police that she and her husband, Kenneth Brown, got into an argument Friday. She left their apartment. Brown was still angry when she returned home, according to police reports. He grabbed his gun and threatened to shoot her, but she told officers she didn’t believe he was serious.

Browns shot his wife, then turned the gun on himself. The couple’s juvenile son told police he was in his room with the door closed talking to a friend when he heard his parents argue and then a gunshot.

He told police he found his mother in the bathroom and his father face down on the floor.
