Police: Officers kill Aiken man who shot, killed ex-wife
AIKEN – Authorities say an Aiken man who shot and killed his ex-wife was then shot to death when he fired on police officers responding to her 911 call.
Investigators say 68-year-old Lynn Carlisle called police from her Aiken home and by the time officers arrived, she was shot to death.
Authorities say Carlisle’s ex-husband, 64-year-old Craig Jarvis, was inside the house and fired at police. They fired back, and he died a few hours later at the hospital. No officers were injured.
The Aiken Standard says (http://bit.ly/KtyD7O ) court records show the couple was married for four years before separating in 2009 and getting a divorce in 2011.
Jarvis was a member of the general aviation commission for the City of Aiken.
