The shooting was reported around 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Mill Creek Apartment complex on Commander Drive.

Police said Pedro Martinez Jurado, 56, fatally shot his wife, 61-year-old Enma Idalia Contreras Cordero, then sought out the two employees -- Fabio Rodriguez, 68, and Julian Valencia, 40 -- as they were working in the complex's maintenance shop.

There was no altercation or argument before Martinez Jurado started shooting at the men, according to the report.

Police said when they arrived, Martinez Jurado was standing on the balcony of his apartment, suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck. He was taken to an area hospital.
