Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Kills Wife in Murder-Suicide

Former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife before taking his own life in a murder-suicide while their children were home, police confirmed. Fairfax, who was once considered a rising star in Democratic politics, had been rocked by sexual assault allegations that derailed his career. The tragedy adds to a week of political scandal that has already seen two sitting congressmen resign over sexual misconduct, underscoring a moment of reckoning in American politics.
