The source's account

Fatal Encounters' description of the incident, verbatim. This is the source project's own third-party narrative, not this site's reporting.

Henry Yip, 66, shot his wife, 54-year-old Vicki Yip, then shot himself. Police responded to the home after receiving a call from a relative of the family to check on the couple. A responding officer saw a person in the home then heard a gunshot. Almost at the same time, police received a call from the home from an individual who stated he had killed his wife and was going to kill himself. They were both found dead when police entered the home.
