Person killed in Montco senior living community, police say

A homicide investigation is underway after a man was killed at a senior living community in King of Prussia and the remains of the suspected killer -- the victim's wife -- were pulled from the Schuylkill River, police said.

On Sunday morning, law enforcement officials in Montgomery County said that the incident unfolded after police responded to the FedEx warehouse in Upper Dublin at about 9:30 a.m. on Saturday after a man reported that his mother, Tonya Dupree, 57, of King of Prussia, called him out of work and pointed a gun to his head.
