SEYMOUR — A Seymour woman shot and killed her grandson before turning the gun on herself Monday evening at the home they shared on the city’s far south side, police report.
Police responding to the report of a person being shot found 68-year-old Wanda J. Huber inside the home she had owned since January 2005 at 1705 S. Walnut St.
They also found her grandson, Simon Huber, 16, with a gunshot wound at the home, which is across from the entrance to Freeman Field Industrial Park.
Simon was airlifted to University of Louisville Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, where he died early Tuesday, Seymour Police Chief Bill Abbott said.
According to police reports, Wanda Huber called police at 4:58 p.m. to report she had shot Simon.
Multiple first responders went to the scene, which also is near the Seymour Community School Corp. administration building.
Abbott said police were on the scene until around 9 p.m. Monday recovering evidence, including .357-caliber handgun owned by Wanda Huber.
Shortly after the incident, officers and detectives could be seen walking around the home.
Abbott said police believe medical issues played a role in the incident.
“There were medical issues we believe factored into the events that happened,” he said. Abbott did not offer any other details.
