A Purdue professor remains in serious condition after allegedly being shot by her husband last night in their rural West Lafayette home.
Tippecanoe County sheriff's deputies were called to the home on Farmstead Lane about 8:45 pm Thursday, where they found 51-year-old Marcia Gentry who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Gentry is a professor in Purdue’s department of educational studies.
Her husband, 64-year-old William Byers, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police say he allegedly shot Gentry before turning the gun on himself.
Gentry was transported to IU Health Arnett Hospital, then later transferred to Methodist Hospital, where she is listed in serious condition.
