Gunman kills woman in Pinellas Park; 1 other person hospitalized
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - A gunman killed a woman in Pinellas Park and left one other person hospitalized, before turning the gun on himself, police said Monday.
The shooting occurred in the parking lot of Hit Promotional Products, located at 3320 122nd Avenue. Pinellas Park police responded around 5 a.m. after receiving a report of the shooting.
When they arrived, police said they found three people with gunshot wounds.
Through the investigation, police said it appears that the shooting was the result of a "domestic quarrel between an ex-boyfriend and girlfriend."
Officers said the male shooter, who police identified as Henry Gonzalez, 46, shot the woman after shooting another male. The male victim was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The male shooter remained at the scene. Police said he died by suicide at the same location as the woman.
"I wouldn't consider it an ambush, but obviously he thought this out and ultimately had planned this through," said Pinellas Police Sgt. John Shea. "We were able to isolate it to the parking lot and, for safety concerns, obviously we shut that area down but the business remained open and the management took the appropriate steps."
Police said the male and female victims, 29 and 34 years old, respectively, were coworkers at Hit Promotional Products. It's unclear if they had a relationship beyond that.
