A 60-year-old California man allegedly shot and killed his wife, who suffered from dementia, along with his sister, 58, who was in a vegetative state, LA Police said Wednesday.

The man, whose name wasn’t available, is alleged to have killed his wife in Santa Clarita before traveling to a Los Angeles nursing home where he killed his sister — who had been in a vegetative state for five years following a heart attack — with one shot to the head, the Los Angeles Times reports.  Authorities say he then put down his gun and waited for the police to arrive.
