Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife, Dr. Cerina Fairfax, before taking his own life early Thursday inside their Northern Virginia home, authorities said, in a case investigators say unfolded against the backdrop of a contentious divorce.
Officers with Fairfax County Police Department responded shortly after midnight to a 911 call from the couple's teenage son, who reported gunfire inside the family's residence in Annandale. When police arrived, they found both Justin Fairfax, 47, and Cerina Fairfax, 49, dead.
