Police investigate fatal shooting in Pulaski County

By Beth Boehne

MONTEREY, Ind. — Police say a man shot and killed his wife in the driveway of their Pulaski County home Sunday.

According to the Pulaski County sheriff, Denise Solano was in a friend's car in the driveway of the couple's home on Center Street in Monterey when Tomas Solano shot and killed her around 3 p.m.

Police say Tomas then fled to Michigan City, where his sister and mother reportedly live. Police surrounded him at Greenwood Cemetery.

Witnesses living near the scene say they saw an ambulance being escorted out of the cemetery around 5 p.m. Police say Tomas has been shot, but it is unclear at this time whether police shot him or he shot himself.

Police say they have responded to numerous calls to the couple's home over the past several months. Their most recent call there was on Friday. The sheriff also told WSBT the suspect was recently living with his mother.

Both Tomas and Denise Solano are believed to be in their 30s. Police confirm the couple have children who have been in protective custody in the past, and were in protective custody at the time of the shooting.

WSBT has a crew on the scene and will have the latest information as it becomes available.
