Ex-Cranston Deputy Fire Chief Who Shot, Wife, 2 Dogs Dies: Coventry PD

An ex-Cranston Deputy Fire Chief, who was accused of shooting his wife and their two dogs, has been found dead in Coventry, Rhode Island. In a recent report by the Coventry Police Department, it was revealed that the 49-year-old suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The suspect’s wife and their two dogs were found shot in their Cranston home last month. The accused, who was identified as Scott Robinson, was taken into custody after a high-speed car chase with the police. He faced charges of domestic violence and animal cruelty.

Although Robinson was released on bail, he was ordered to surrender his firearms and stay away from his wife. The authorities previously confirmed that the suspect was struggling with mental health issues and had been placed on administrative leave from his job at the Cranston Fire Department.

This tragic incident highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues among first responders and the consequences of domestic violence. It also brings attention to the need for better gun control laws and ensuring that those with a history of violent behavior are not allowed to possess firearms.

Overall, the death of the ex-deputy fire chief is a sad reminder of how domestic violence can escalate and end in devastating consequences for all involved.
