Police in Virginia say former Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax killed his wife before killing himself. Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said Thursday that both were found dead at their northern Virginia home after the couple’s teenage son called 911 shortly after midnight. The chief said the couple was going through a divorce, and the shootings may have been sparked by paperwork he received. Fairfax was a rising star in the Democratic party several years ago before his chances of leading the state were derailed by sexual assault allegations. He had called the encounters consensual and refused to resign.
