A 65-year-old man shot a woman before turning the gun on himself Monday night in Point Place, according to Toledo Police.
Officers were called to a residence in the 2600 block of 106th Street around 10:30 p.m. When they arrived, they forced entry into the home, at which point one person, identified as Frank Degg, shot himself. Degg was pronounced dead.
A second victim, identified by police as Danielle Derbeck, was found suffering from at least two gunshot wounds. Derbeck was taken to a local hospital, and police say she is expected to survive.
A third person, named by police as Cynthia Frost, was also in the house and was unharmed.
Degg’s family members tell 13abc he and Frost were in a relationship for about two years.
“He has his demons, but he was a good guy,” said Flo Degg Hoyt, Frank’s sister. “He had rage and I know he was in therapy and it wasn’t working.”
Hoyt said her brother was getting professional help for his depression and other issues he was struggling with since he was a boy.
“When he was younger, he was molested by one of the priests at our church in the Point,” said Hoyt. “I don’t think he recovered from that.”
