Updated: Daughter Dead & Father Stabbed: Johnston Police Investigating Domestic

JOHNSTON, RI— A young woman has died of gunshot wounds suffered at her father's home, Johnston police said. Police encountered a grisly scene Saturday afternoon when they responded to a home at 75 Bishop Hill Road.

According to Deputy Chief Daniel Parrillo, of the Johnston Police Department, the fire and police were called to that address around 3:08 p.m. for an incident of domestic violence.

They found Jessica Sutherland, 28, "lying in the grass with gunshot wounds" outside the home. Also outside, they found her father, Robert Sutherland, 55, bleeding from stab wounds to the chest.

Both were transported to Rhode Island Hospital.

"Jessica succumbed to her injuries and Robert is being treated for his injuries which appear non-life threatening at this time," Parrillo said. "A handgun and knife were recovered at the scene. Detectives are currently interviewing all the witnesses."

No charges have been pressed so far, but the Johnston Police Department and the state Attorney General's office are investigating, said this morning.
