SHOCKING SHOTGUN TRAGEDY: FAIRFAX KILLS WIFE, HIMSELF
What began as a bitter divorce in a high-profile Virginia family ended in horror Thursday when police say former Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax fatally shot his wife, Dr. Cerina Fairfax, inside their Annandale home before turning the gun on himself, with their two teenage children trapped inside but physically unharmed. Fairfax County police said the killing happened shortly after midnight in the basement of the Guinevere Drive home and unfolded just days after Fairfax had been served court papers for an upcoming hearing. Chief Kevin Davis called the scene “tragic in nature” and “extra tragic” because the children were in the house when the violence erupted. Davis also said cameras inside the home showed a January assault claim made by Fairfax did not happen. Once viewed as a rising Virginia political star, Fairfax’s final chapter ended in a devastating domestic murder-suicide that left a family shattered.
