Teen Boy, 17, Accused of Fatally Shooting Ex-Girlfriend Before Turning Gun on Himself in N.Y.
A 17-year-old boy allegedly shot and killed his former girlfriend before shooting himself in the face inside his Long Island home, according to authorities.
Police say the teen, whose name has not been released because of his age, shot 18-year-old Emily Finn on Wednesday, Nov. 26, at his residence in Nesconset, N.Y. He then reportedly shot himself in the face, after which his parents immediately called 911, according to a statement from Suffolk County Police.
Finn was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 11:10 a.m. local time. She lived in West Sayville, N.Y. Authorities said the 17-year-old “was transported to Stony Brook University Hospital in critical but stable condition. He will be charged with Murder 2nd Degree and arraigned at a later date.”
Finn graduated from Sayville High School in June, according to Greater Long Island. Suffolk County Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer, commanding officer of the department’s homicide bureau, told the outlet that Finn had gone to the teen’s home to return his belongings following their breakup.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
