Fairfax County police are investigating the apparent murder of a Northern Virginia psychiatrist at the hands of one of his patients.
Police were called to Dr. Mark Lawrence's home, in the 8600 block of Tebbs Lane in McLean, around 4:15 p.m. Friday after a report of gunshots. When they arrived, they found two bodies.
One of the deceased is the 71-year-old psychiatrist, who had run his practice out of his home. The other was identified as a 62-year-old Barbara Newman, of Vienna who had been one of the man’s patients.
Police say they believe the woman shot the psychiatrist, and then turned the gun on herself.
