A former marine shot and killed his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself after a standoff in an Atlanta suburb with SWAT officers that lasted 12 hours, police say.
Jessica Arrendale, 33, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head along with Antoine Davis, 30, who police believe shot himself and Arrendale in a murder-suicide.

Police found the couple’s five-month-old infant safe inside and rushed her to the hospital to treat her for hypothermia.
Officers arrived at the home in Smyrna in the early morning hours Sunday, responding to a call that there was someone in the home armed with a gun.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that police evacuated nearby homes as a precaution and attempted to make contact with the armed man inside.
When officers made the decision to breach the doors around 1:30 p.m., they found the bodies of Arrendale and Davis, both killed by gunshot wounds to the head, Davis’s reportedly self-inflicted.
In addition to the couple’s five-month-old, Fox 5 reports that Davis’s two daughters from a previous marriage, ages 9 and 10, were in the home.
Their mother, Tamaira Chesley, described how one daughter later told her that Davis stared at her for a ‘very long time’ before she asked him, ‘Daddy, what are you doing?’
