Man kills woman, self in barbershop shooting
A woman who worked as a barber is dead after a man walked into a Chicago barbershop and shot her death before turning the gun on himself.
The man who shot himself to death Monday was identified as 36-year-old Juan Martinez. The woman, who authorities did not identify pending notification of her family, was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Police said Martinez walked into the barbershop as the woman, said to be in her 30s, was cutting the hair of a customer and shot her once. The male client was not injured.
Chicago police spokesman Officer Veejay Zala says the reason the shootings occurred was not immediately known.
