STRATFORD, N.J. — A man shot and killed his hospitalized wife on Wednesday and then tried to kill himself, prompting investigators to search their home, where their son was found fatally shot, authorities said.
The Camden County prosecutor’s office was investigating whether the same handgun was used in the two deaths and in the man’s suicide attempt.
Raymond Wychowanec signed in at Kennedy University Hospital in Stratford, a Philadelphia suburb, at about 9:25 a.m. to visit his wife, officials said.
Hospital staff members said in initial interviews that they did not hear arguing or anything amiss from the woman’s second-floor room until 10:10 a.m., when they heard two shots fired, said Capt. Ron Moten, of the county prosecutor’s office. The shots killed 62-year-old Denise Wychowanec, authorities said.
When hospital staffers entered the room, 63-year-old Raymond Wychowanec shot himself, authorities said. He was flown to another hospital, where he was being treated for life-threatening injuries.
Authorities visited the couple’s home in nearby Glendora as a routine step in their investigation, Moten said. There, they found the body of the couple’s 35-year-old son, Ryan Wychowanec.

That's pretty messed up... I'm very curious as to why he had to be airlifted to another hospital though? I'm guessing there were no surgeons on call nearby? Still though, tragic when someone decides to take his / her whole family out along with themselves. :(
selfish to do such a thing, especially to your 35 year old son... which most parents would probably see as one of the most important things of their life and their biggest accomplishment.
this is terrible

I'm sure that they will find that is the case, and will charge him with double homicide, and attempted suicide.
Likely a life sentence.

Not all hospitals have the appropriate facilities or departments to deal with specific injuries, particularly on short notice.

I thought suicide wasn't illegal any more in any part of the States?

Depends on the state, as it isn't a federal decision.
