DALLAS — Authorities in Dallas are investigating the bizarre death of a man whom they believe died after being struck by a bullet he fired at a woman Saturday morning.
According to KDFW, the shooting occurred just after 11:30 a.m. local time, and responding officers found a large amount of blood and a blood trail – but no victims – in front of a Medical District apartment.
A short while later, an area hospital contacted the Dallas Police Department after a man and woman, both suffering gunshot wounds, were found in a vehicle and transported for medical attention, the TV station reported.
Investigators believe that the man, since identified as 26-year-old Byron Redmon, shot the woman in the neck and that, somehow, the bullet exited her neck and struck Redmon in the leg, WFAA reported.
According to police, Redmon died at the hospital, and the woman, who has not been identified publicly, was treated and released the same day, the TV station reported.
The preliminary investigation determined at the apartment, the male, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the adult female victim in the neck. The bullet then exited and hit Redmon in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital.
