Dowagiac authorities are confirming the death of a couple over the weekend was a murder-suicide. Investigators say 41-year-old Jason Clark shot his 49-year-old wife, Tonia, before turning the gun on himself. She called 9-1-1 Saturday night to report the shooting and was still alive when police arrived, but died after being taken to Borgess-Lee Memorial Hospital. Police say a child was also at the home at the time, but he was not hurt. The shooting happened in the Clark family home in the 300 block of McOmber Street, and remains under investigation.
