Witness Mohammed Uddin said he was overwhelmed by the tragedy.
“There were two shots and both bodies were on the ground. They were both lying face up,” he said.
“He zoomed in and –– boom, boom. It was incredible. Both were dead. It’s hard to believe that any of them could still be alive.’
Neighbors said the couple was at it for about 90 minutes before the man pulled the gun. It is not clear what the argument was about.
