Gunman shot wife in her hospital bed ‘out of love’

A man walked into his wife’s hospital room on Tuesday, fatally shot her, and then killed himself — a murder-suicide he foretold in a candid and emotional Facebook posting to friends and family.

Officials did not identify the New Hampshire man. But Dorcas Lavoie told The Associated Press that her brother, Mark A Lavoie, shot his wife, Katherine, “out of love” before killing himself at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover.

“They both loved each other very much,” she said, declining to comment further.
