Authorities are conducting an investigation in Raynham, Massachusetts, following an apparent murder-suicide that occurred at a home early Tuesday morning.
Authorities say a man broke into the home on Ruth Ellen Road around 2 a.m. and fatally shot 30-year-old Tatiana Tavares as she lay in her bed. The shooter, whom authorities identified as 43-year-old Scott Swale of Easton, apparently committed suicide, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
The woman who was shot and another tenant who was in the house called the police. When officers arrived, they found Tavares and Swale dead.
Tavares and Swale had been involved in a hostile “on and off relationship” for a year, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. No additional information was released.
