A U.S. Department of Commerce official was killed Friday in what police have said is a murder-suicide, according to multiple reports.
Lola Gulomova, 45, was found unresponsive inside her northwest Washington, D.C., home after police conducted a welfare check at the house, Fox News reported.
Police said they also found Jason Rieff, 51, Gulomova’s husband, with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the home.
The couple has two children, who were not at home at the time of the incident, which police said occurred shortly after 9 a.m. Friday.
Gulomova had been employed with the Department of Commerce for more than a decade, having taken diplomatic posts in various locations throughout Asia.
