— UPDATE @11 a.m. 11/21/2014

A woman has been taken into custody in connection to a Thursday night fatal shooting.

Suzanne McNemar, 62, is being held in Mongomery Count jail on a preliminary charge of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her husband, David McNemar, 53. The victim was identified by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. Police said the woman shot and killed her husband after an argument between the couple escalated in the home they rented in the 11900 block of Friend Road.

Police said one shot was fired from a .38 revolver, which hit the man in the chest. David McNemar was dead when medics arrived.

Police said this is the first homicide in German Twp. since 2004. The 2004 homicide also took place on Friend Road.

UPDATE @11:20 p.m. 11/20/2014

A shooting on Thursday night is being investigated as a homicide, German Twp. Police Chief Joseph Andzik said.

Police around 7:20 p.m. responded to a 911 call for a domestic disturbance at a home in the 11900 block of Friend Road, where a man was found unresponsive inside the home.

“As a result of what appeared to be a gunshot, they pronounced an adult male as dead at the scene,” Andzik said.

The man lived at the Friend Road residence. His name was not released Thursday night, however, the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office said he was 53.

Andzik said he wasn’t certain whether the victim called 911, and said it’s under investigation how many people were in the home during the incident.

“At this time we do have someone in custody and we are interviewing them,” said Andzik, who would not disclose suspect’s name, gender, nor the relationship to the victim.

Andzik said the type of gun used remains under investigation.

“There are numerous weapons in the home, all of which will be recovered,” he said.

German Twp. police have had prior calls to the home.

“We have had previous domestics at the residence,” Andzik said, most recently in September.

An autopsy is scheduled for Friday morning, according to the coroner’s office.
