Police said the daughter of the dead woman went to a nearby building at 3:50 p.m. Detectives believe the daughter shot herself in a bathroom.
Investigators told 10News they don’t believe the daughter is a suspect in her mother’s death. Her suicide may be a case of stress over finding out that her mother was dead, said police.
