A 49-year-old woman was shot and killed in Strongsville Friday night, according to the Strongsville Police Department.

At about 8:06 p.m., officers responded to the 22400 block of Rock Creek Circle after receiving reports of a shooting.

Once police arrived, they found Gina Guyer wounded by multiple gunshots and a 74-year-old North Ridgeville man, Gene Tomcho, holding a handgun, the department said in a statement.

Police later said that Tomcho is Guyer's father.

Police said when officers ordered Tomcho to put the gun down, he turned it and shot himself.

Both Tomcho and Guyer were treated and transported to a local hospital by Strongsville Fire-Medics, police said.

Guyer died hours later at the hospital.

Tomcho died days later, police said.

Police said the shooting was an isolated incident involving family members and it is not a random act of violence.
