HOMEWOOD, Alabama (WVTM) — The victims of an apparent murder-suicide at Baptist Health Brookwood in Jefferson County have been identified.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office said Precious Johnson, 24, died after being shot multiple times. Family told WVTM 13 that she had just given birth to their first child and was a patient at the hospital. Kynath Terry Jr., 19, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Both deaths were part of a murder-suicide domestic assault, according to the coroner and police. Johnson and Terry were married, according to family.
Homewood police said officers responded to the hospital on Medical Center Drive shortly before 9:30 p.m. to investigate a report of shots fired at the Women’s Center. Officers arrived and found a woman and man dead from gunshot wounds.
No one else was injured.
Baptist Health released a statement Sunday evening, saying the hospital was on lockdown “out of an abundance of caution,” but there was “no active threat to patients, team members or the public.” The statement added that Baptist Health is “cooperating fully with authorities investigating the incident.”
