KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The man deputies believe shot his wife before turning the gun on himself has died from his injuries.
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department says Leonard Hicks died at CAMC General Hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to the head Friday night.
Friends tell WSAZ.com that Hicks was on life support before he passed away Saturday afternoon.
Leonard's brother-in-law, Chris Shinaunt, said he never saw this coming.
"I knew they were having a little bit of trouble, but I didn't think it was this serious. I can't believe Leonard would do this."
Annetta worked at Lens Crafters as a Lab Technician for 17 years. Richa Nelson, co-worker, says she was working alongside of Annetta just an hour before she was shot by her husband.
Richa says Annetta had told freinds the couple was considering a divorce, but she says "we had no idea this was a possibility, a remote possibility at all."
The couple leaves behind two children, 17 and 19 -year-old boys.
