A Wyoming County man shot a woman seven times on a school bus, killing her in an apparent domestic dispute Monday evening, the sheriff said today.

He then turned the gun on himself, Sheriff C.S. Parker said.

Police haven't released names pending notification of family.

The woman, who was the bus driver, was cleaning the vehicle near the man's home in Ikes Fork when he allegedly killed her and shot himself in the head shortly after 7 p.m., Parker said.

Neighbors saw him -- bleeding and still carrying the gun -- walk about 40 yards across the road to barricade himself in his home with his teenage son, Parker said.

"He went to retrieve more ammunition and was in the process of coming back out and he fell dead in the house," he said.

Deputies shut down U.S. 52 between Hanover and the McDowell County line and waited outside the home for about 45 minutes before entering the house to find the man dead of one gunshot wound to the head. His son was not harmed, Parker said.
