How they died

Deadly force

Marvin Henry shot his wife, Karen, with a 9 mm handgun, waited an undetermined amount of time and then reported it to emergency telephone operators before turning the gun on himself, police said. Police believe Henry, a Thurston County Corrections officer, shot himself because he was under investigation of having sexual contact with a female prisoner and was going to be arrested that day. They do not know why he shot his wife.
