Two people were killed Wednesday evening in an apparent murder-suicide in Geneva involving a man who allegedly killed his ex-wife and later himself, police said.
Chad Dockery, 49, of Hinsdale, called 911 around 5:22 p.m. Wednesday to report he murdered his former wife, Amanda Dockery, 48, inside her home in the 1000 block of Pebble Beach Court in Geneva, police said in a news release Thursday.
During the 911 call, police said Chad Dockery told them he was armed with a pistol.
When police arrived at the Geneva home, Chad Dockery was seen inside a car at the end of the home’s driveway, according to the release. As an officer approached, a gun was fired inside the vehicle and Dockery was found to be suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Police said they recovered a 9mm pistol from the scene.
