A woman is recovering after San Antonio police say her husband assaulted her before he took his own life.
According to police, this incident happened just before 10 p.m. Tuesday at a home in the 4800 Block of Castle Kent Drive, not far from Gibbs Sprawl and Rittiman roads.
Police said officers located a 65-year-old woman with a severe injury to her face inside the home. She was taken to the hospital and her condition is unknown.
In a different part of the home, they found a 64-year-old man dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. A firearm was located near his body.
Police confirmed the two individuals were married and this was a result of a family violence situation.
The man has not been identified.
