A Bridgewater Township man shot his wife and then committed suicide Saturday night in the 13000 block of Austin Road.
The wife was shot in the chest and shoulder. She was taken to the University of Michigan Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
Township Supervisor Jolea Mull learned about the shooting at about 11:45 p.m. Saturday from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
She said according to police, the couple was arguing throughout the day because of the man's depression issues.
He shot his wife and then turned the gun on himself. The wife was able to run out of their residence and call 911. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but on Sunday police told Mull the woman is now in stable condition.
There is no official statement on the shooting from the sheriff's department yet, Mull said.
