An Alabama man allegedly killed his wife before being fatally shot by another family member.

Officers were called to a residence in Foley about a domestic incident around 10 p.m. Saturday night.

The caller identified Scott Blackwell as the suspect, and said he was armed and acting strange, according to the Baldwin County Sheriff’s office.

According to the sheriff’s office, shortly after the call, Blackwell “became physically violent” toward his wife, Cindy.

Blackwell allegedly shot his wife and then another family member shot him.

“Based on information gathered from several witness interviews and our investigation thus far, the family member who shot Scott Blackwell did so in defense of Cindy Blackwell, and others in the residence,” according to a sheriff’s office press release.
