A man and a woman were shot early-Thursday evening in an attempted suicide inside of a Sand Lake area home, Anchorage Police Department spokesperson Jennifer Castro said.
Police were called to the scene, at the 3000 block of Dunkirk Street, around 4:30 p.m. When emergency responders arrive, APD Sgt. Mike Canfield said, both people needed immediate medical attention.
“It was reported to police that a male had attempted to commit suicide and during the process of when he shot himself, a female at the residence who tried to intervene was struck by the same bullet,” Castro wrote in an email.
According to Castro, the man’s injuries appear to be life-threating; the woman’s do not.
