SEMINOLE, Fla. — The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) said a man committed suicide after shooting his wife in Seminole.

PCSO said deputies responded to the area of the 1400 block of Anchorage Circle in the early evening of Aug 22.

When deputies arrived on scene, they located the victim, 58-year-old Kimberly King-Judd, at a neighbor's residence, advising that her husband had shot her.

Deputies learned her husband, 65-year-old Steven Grossman, was still inside the residence and armed with a firearm.

Deputies attempted numerous times to communicate with Grossman from an armored vehicle, but he would not exit the home.

Deputies eventually made entry into the home and found Grossman in the living room with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to a PCSO report.

Detectives learned that King-Judd recently filed for divorce after ongoing domestic issues. King-Judd was inside the home with Grossman when he began making threatening statements.

King-Judd attempted to leave when Grossman began firing a gun. She exited the residence and fled to her neighbor's residence next door.

King-Judd was transported to the hospital, where she was treated for a non-life-threatening graze wound to the back of her head.

Grossman was also transported to the hospital, where he died.
