The wife of a Whitfield County, Ga., 911 dispatcher took her own life in front of her estranged husband in the parking lot of his workplace Sunday morning, Dalton police said.
Police department spokesman Bruce Frazier said Tifiney Necole Arp, 38, of Chatsworth, drove to the 911 center on Professional Boulevard to talk to her husband about their impending divorce around 10:40 a.m.
The husband, 35-year-old Jeffrey Russell Arp, was standing by the truck, talking to the woman sitting in the driver's seat. No one else was in the lot just then, Frazier said.
The Whitfield County 911 Center is seen on Sunday, May 31, 2015, in Dalton, Ga. The woman reached for a handgun in the truck, put it to her head and fired. Ambulance crews responded but the woman was dead, Frazier said. She did not leave a note explaining her actions, he said.
According to the husband's Facebook page, he is a Southeast Whitfield High School graduate who has worked at Whitfield 911 since 2004.
The wife's Facebook page shows that she changed her profile picture on Saturday.
