A Wisconsin man is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot, and his ex-girlfriend is hospitalized after a shooting Monday evening in Mount Prospect, police say.
A 63-year-old woman and Michael Work, 53, who police say was the "offender," were found with gunshot wounds in an enclosed parking garage of a condo building in the 1200 block of Northwest Highway shortly after 5 p.m., said police spokesperson Greg Sill and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The woman was pulling into the enclosed parking garage about 4:45 p.m. when Work allegedly followed her inside in another vehicle when the garage door was still open, police said. As she was attempting to park her vehicle, Work allegedly crashed his car into her driver's side door.
Work then got out of his car and began shooting at the woman, striking her multiple times, before shooting himself, police said.
According to police, Work and the woman had been in a "dating relationship" that ended months ago.
They were taken to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, where Work, of Shorewood, Wisconsin, died at 8:55 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office. The woman, who was conscious and talking to detectives at the hospital, remains in critical condition.
