A candidate for the Mississippi House of Representatives shot his estranged wife at her job Tuesday within minutes of being served divorce papers, then turned the gun on himself, authorities said.

Carl Robinson walked into Williams Medical Clinic in Potts Camp on Tuesday morning where Latoya Thompson was working at the front desk as a receptionist and shot her, Marshall County Sheriff Kenny Dickerson said.

He then jumped a counter at the clinic, which is in far north Mississippi about an hour southeast of Memphis, and apparently fired another shot, the sheriff said.

"Then he killed himself and fell dead beside her," Dickerson told NBC News.

Guy took his marriage vows literally. Wife serves him with divorce papers, so he drives to her job and kills them both.
