Police and emergency responders arrived at the house after an urgent call and found at a dining table the female survivor, identified by Wichit police only as as Ms. Manee, 57, who was still conscious, calm, and cognizant despite her wounds. She had sustained injuries from a gunshot wound that had grazed her face.

Ms. Manee told Wichit police that she and Mr. Jak were a couple and had a verbal argument in which she made it clear she wanted to end her relationship with Mr. Jak.

Jak became enraged before he opened fire at her but missed vital organs and mostly grazed her face. Jak immediately shot himself following firing at Manee.

 

Could call that a result.
