SAN FRANCISCO - A spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service in California fatally shot his wife, himself and their two dogs after calling police and saying his wife was sick and no longer wanted to live, authorities said.
Matt Mathes, 54, and Karen Pang Mathes, 52, were found dead Saturday in their northern California home from gunshot wounds in what police described as a "homicide-suicide."
A man identifying himself as Matt Mathes called police Saturday morning and said in a "matter of fact" tone that he intended to kill himself, his wife and their dogs, said police Sgt. Craig Nickles in the city of American Canyon.
