(West Des Moines, IA) -- West Des Moines Police are investigating an attempted murder suicide near 90th Street and Oxford Drive.
Police responded to a call from a woman Monday, January 16th at 3:35 p.m., saying she had been shot in the head by her partner.
"When officers arrived at the residence, they located an injured female, with a gunshot wound to her head," said Sergeant Jason Heintz.
The woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
"They also located a deceased male in front of the residence, with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound," said Heintz. "The investigation is leading the detectives to believe that this was an attempted murder at the scene, before the male turned the weapon on himself."
