SNOHOMISH, Wash. (AP) - Authorities say 45-year-old woman was shot to death northeast of Seattle in her Snohomish-area home and a man believed to be her husband has been arrested.
The Seattle Times reports a man called 911 around 9 p.m. Monday and reported that someone had been hurt in his home and “just send the sheriff quickly,” the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office reported.
The sheriff’s office says deputies responded to the home in the Snohomish-Cascade neighborhood and found an unconscious woman suffering from gunshot wounds.
Medics administered CPR, but she died at the scene.
The Daily Herald reports the woman killed was identified by the Everett School District as Holly Martinez. Martinez worked for the district for nearly a decade, most recently as a director of elementary literacy.
The sheriff’s office says a 49-year-old man has been arrested.
