LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - A man being questioned by police at a suburban Atlanta hotel on Sunday shot the two officers after inviting them into his room, killing one of them and seriously wounding the other, authorities said. The shooting suspect also was shot by one of the officers and was undergoing medical treatment and expected to survive, Gwinnett County Police Chief J.D. McClure said during a news conference.
Carmen Veneziano, 47, who leads the Totowa Police Department, faces one charge of kidnapping and three counts of domestic assault and battery in connection with the Sept. 14 incident. His bail was set at $25,000, with orders to stay away from the alleged victim and submit to GPS monitoring. According to prosecutors, Veneziano and the woman visited Boston for a Red Sox game in September, and the trip was going smoothly until an argument erupted at the hotel bar.
