Delhi woman shot in head outside home, shooter later kills self
NEW DELHI,JULY 28: A 40-year-old woman was shot dead in front of her house in Delhi’s Dabri area on Thursday night. Police said the attacker, identified as Ashish (23), shot the woman in her head and fled the spot.
Later, according to the police, Ashish killed himself on his terrace with a country-made pistol.
“A team went to a house in a nearby area where the accused used to live with his parents. The accused was found to have committed suicide using the weapon (a country-made pistol) on the terrace of the house,” police said.
Ashish and Renu reportedly knew each other as they went to the same gym a couple of years earlier.
The woman, identified as Renu Goyal, was rushed to a hospital immediately after being attacked, but was declared dead on arrival.
Renu was a housewife, survived by her husband and three children.
Police officials said the assailant came on foot and shot the woman from point-blank range.
Dwarka Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) said the murder motive prima facie seems to be personal enmity, but the police are investigating the case from all angles.
