PRESCOTT, Arizona — A man in Prescott is in custody after a domestic incident injured his son-in-law and killed his wife.

According to the Prescott Police Department, officers received at least two calls that two people were shot at an apartment near Granite Street and Willis Street around 7:54 p.m. Tuesday.

When police arrived, the 57-year-old man Thomas Lind came out of his apartment and told the police that he had shot his adult stepson and then his wife shot himself.
