Two killed in southwest Ottawa domestic shooting suicide
Melissa Davis, 36, was found dead in her driveway at 205 Eisenhower Road after a suspected shooting by her estranged husband Gary Davis, 48, who was later found dead near a shop doorway north of the residence. Authorities say both victims died at the scene and are investigating the incident. A separate crash near Basehor claimed the life of 19 year old Katherine Mika as a school bus struck her car on U S 24 40. Douglas County plans discuss rural home businesses as county commissioners meet at the courthouse to review zoning and potential relocation sites.
