Investigators say it appears the victim had been fighting with the daughter and then put her in a chokehold. The teen’s mother separated them. The parents then went into a bedroom and a gun was fired.
Police have determined the mother, also in her 40s, shot the father.
It was not immediately known Tuesday if the woman had been arrested.
