Middle-aged Pennsylvania mother's astonishing actions that ended with two dead
A Pennsylvania mother pointed a gun at her son's head before shooting her husband dead and then committing suicide, according to police. Around 9.30am Saturday Upper Dublin Police responded to reports of a woman, Tonya Dupree, 57, pointing a gun at her adult son's head outside of his job at a FedEx warehouse, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said. Her son managed to 'wrestle the gun away' from his mother before she fled the scene. Less than an hour later, at around 10.15am, officers with the Upper Merion Township Police Department conducted a welfare check at Tonya's home in King of Prussia - about 50 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Officers then discovered her husband Robert Dupree Sr., 62, was shot dead in his bed, Steele stated. By 11.30am, Tonya's deceased body was found floating in the Schuylkill River by the Philadelphia Police Department. Multiple agencies, including the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, Upper Merion Township Police and the Upper Dublin Police are investigating the murder-suicide and attempted murder, according to the DA. It is unclear what drove Tonya to point a gun at her son, kill her husband, or take her own life. By 11.30am, Tonya's deceased body was found floating in the Schuylkill River (pictured) by the Philadelphia Police Department Heartbroken friends and family took to Facebook to honor Robert, a retired US Army soldier. 'You gave me that Mug on Thursday and on Saturday you were Gone,' Antonie Berry, a friend of Robert's, wrote alongside several images of them. 'Knowing you over 30 years was not enough time. You were more than a friend you were my Brother, and you will Be missed. I love you, Robert Dupree.' Another friend of his wrote: 'Speechless and really hurt. I had the honor of serving with this good brother and calling him a big brother figure outside the uniform. 'Countless laughs and fun overseas in Kuwait and Qatar to stateside. Keeping in touch, talking sh** in our group fantasy football text. Rest well my friend. Praying for his family,' he added. 'He was a true friend without judgement to all he considered a friend,' another said, adding 'you deserved better my friend forever.' Someone else commented: 'Such a nice person RIP Rob.' 'Oh No!! I remember Dupree. This is too sad. I'm so sorry brother,' wrote another. Robert was not only a veteran, but was also a retired correctional officer and a former employee of Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, a loved one said.
