警方周四表示,前弗吉尼亚州副州长贾斯汀·费尔法克斯在弗吉尼亚州安嫩代尔的家中实施谋杀后自杀,枪杀了妻子后举枪自尽。

费尔法克斯县警方表示,刚过午夜时分,费尔法克斯在住宅地下室朝妻子开了数枪,随后上楼到主卧室开枪自杀。

事件发生时,两人的两个未成年子女均在家中。据两名了解调查情况的消息人士透露,费尔法克斯的儿子刚过午夜就从家中拨打了911,称他认为母亲塞里娜·费尔法克斯遭刺伤。警方抵达住宅后,在塞里娜的尸体旁发现了弹壳。随后,他们在楼上发现贾斯汀·费尔法克斯,其身上有自伤枪伤。

警方表示,枪击发生前并未发生长时间对峙。

“我认为一切瞬间发生,”费尔法克斯县警察局长凯文·戴维斯说道,“没有停顿……整件事发生得相当突然。”

警方表示,费尔法克斯和妻子正处于离婚程序的初期阶段,费尔法克斯近期刚收到与该离婚相关的文件。

“这是一场持续已久的家庭纠纷,围绕着一场看似复杂棘手的离婚展开,”戴维斯在周四上午的新闻发布会上说道。

两人此前仍同住一处,但已分居,分住不同卧室。塞里娜·费尔法克斯于去年7月提出离婚申请。

戴维斯称这起事件对两名未成年子女而言“极具创伤性”。他表示,受害者服务机构正在为他们及其他家庭成员提供帮助。

“对于这个原本看似拥有一切的高关注度家庭来说,这无疑是从云端跌落,”戴维斯说道,“孩子们同时失去双亲已是悲剧,更悲剧的是他们当时就在家中亲历了这一切。”

今年1月,费尔法克斯曾报警称妻子袭击了他,但警方根据塞里娜·费尔法克斯在家中安装的监控录像,当时认定袭击并未发生。

现年47岁的贾斯汀·费尔法克斯曾于2018年至2022年担任弗吉尼亚州第41任副州长。2019年,一名女子指控他于2004年对其实施性侵,另有一名女子指控他在两人还是大学生时强奸了她。费尔法克斯称两次接触均为双方自愿。

贾斯汀与塞里娜·费尔法克斯在杜克大学相识。

Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife and then turned the gun on himself in a murder-suicide in their home in Annandale, Virginia, police said Thursday.

Fairfax County police said that just after midnight, Fairfax shot his wife several times in the basement of their home and then went upstairs to the primary bedroom and shot and killed himself.

Both their teenage children were home when the incident occurred. According to two sources with knowledge of the investigation, Fairfax’s son called 911 just after midnight from the home. The caller said he thought his mother, Cerina Fairfax, had been stabbed. When police arrived at the home, they found bullet casings near her body. Later, they found Justin Fairfax upstairs with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police said there was no prolonged confrontation before the shooting.

“I think it all kind of happened at once,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said.”There wasn’t a pause … it all happened pretty spontaneously.”

Police said that Fairfax and his wife were in the early stages of divorce proceedings, and Fairfax had recently been served paperwork related to that divorce.

“This has been an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce,” Davis said during a briefing Thursday morning.

The couple had been living together but were separated, residing in separate bedrooms. Cerina Fairfax filed for divorce last July.

Davis called the incident “traumatic” for the two teenage children. He said victims’ services are working with them and other family members.

“This is certainly a fall from grace for a relatively high-profile family that seemingly had a lot of things going for them,” Davis said. “Tragic for the children to lose both parents. Extra tragic for them to actually be in the home when it occurred.”

In January, Fairfax called police alleging his wife assaulted him, although police determined at the time that the assault never occurred, based on footage from cameras at the home that had been placed by Cerina Fairfax.

Justin Fairfax, who was 47, served as the 41st lieutenant governor of Virginia, serving from 2018 until 2022. In 2019, a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2004, and another woman accused him of raping her when they were both college students. He said both encounters were consensual.

Justin and Cerina Fairfax met at Duke University.
