PHOENIX — Phoenix police say a man and woman are dead and a child is recovering from a gunshot wound after an apparent murder-suicide at a West Phoenix apartment complex.

Officers were first called to an apartment near 99th Avenue and Indian School Road around 8:30 p.m. Sunday for reports of a shooting. Callers told officers that there was an argument followed by multiple gunshots in an apartment unit.

Police forced entry into the residence and found a man and woman dead. A toddler was also at the home and was suffering from a gunshot wound.

Officials say the child was taken to a hospital for treatment and is in critical condition.

Investigators believe 38-year-old Andrew Corona shot his 35-year-old wife, Ashlee Corona, and their young child before turning the gun on himself.

The investigation is ongoing.
