The bodies of Virginia's former lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, and his wife were found inside their Annandale home after what detectives are saying was likely a murder-suicide. Police said they believe Justin Fairfax shot his wife, Dr. Cerina Fairfax, a dentist, in an unfinished basement in the home, then ran upstairs to the home's primary bedroom before shooting himself. The couple was in the midst of what one police official called a "domestic dispute surrounding what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce."
