A man and his wife are dead after Hernando County deputies say he shot his partner before turning the gun on himself at their Spring Hill home.
Just before 6:30 a.m. on Monday, a witness who also lived at the home on Philatelic Drive called 911 to report the shooting.
According to the witness, 45-year-old Bryan Guthrie, and his wife, Pattie Guthrie, got into an argument. When the witness left the home, she heard a single gunshot. She ran back inside to find Pattie on the floor outside of the master bedroom, bleeding from a gunshot wound.
When deputies arrived, they forced their way inside and found Brian dead, lying on the floor of the master bedroom next to a handgun, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Investigators said when the couple’s argument escalated, Brian took out the handgun and shot his wife, before turning the same gun on himself.
