Update: Boston.com reports authorities believe the man shot his wife, then himself in an attempted murder-suicide.
Live Boston reports a man and a woman were shot on Lawrence Avenue near Coleus Park in Dorchester shortly after midnight.
WCVB reports the man, shot in the head, died. The woman, shot in the head and stomach, however, is in stable condition.

Things are just peachy. Crime rates are down!
Comments like yours are proof that Adam should amend this post
The WCVB story makes it quite clear that this is a domestic murder-suicide:
While a murder is a murder, I doubt you would have made your snarky, amoral "leftist policies" BS comment had you bothered to click the link and read the story yourself. A higher police budget wouldn't have done anything to stop this domestic tragedy, assuming the gun was legally owned.
I understand why the Live Boston story wouldn't have known that. But Adam's post doesn't reference the full details from the WCBV story, which means his post is misleading.
Timing
When I first posted, WCVB was NOT calling this a murder-suicide. I've since added an update to the post, linking to another story (on boston.com) that makes that clear, and I've removed the "murder" tag (which in turn takes the post off the 2022 murder page here), since the person who died was the person who apparently fired the shots.
yes
because single events are widely used as indicators of statewide year over year trends. /s
