Man, woman found dead after medical office shooting

FRESNO, Calif. -- A man and a woman were found dead after the man stormed a medical office building in downtown Fresno and shot the mother of his five children at close range, police in central California said Tuesday.

In a chaotic scene, people hid in bathrooms at the Eye Medical Clinic and were seen climbing from the windows of the ground level building as police arrived.

Officers heard one gunshot as they arrived, Fresno police Lt. Joe Gomez said.

To help people inside the building get out, police smashed windows and helped people climb to safety, Gomez said.

Fresno deputy police chief Pat Farmer said there are two businesses in the building -- a pediatric clinic and an eye clinic.

There were 16 employees and patients inside both businesses.

"Several people were running out of the building frantically," Farmer said.

No other injuries were reported, Gomez said.

Investigators found a shotgun inside the clinic, Gomez said.

Gomez identified the shooter as 43-year-old Neng Moua of Clovis.

The victim is a 33-year-old woman, but her name was not released. Farmer said the woman was shot multiple times at close range.

The exact nature of their relationship was not immediately clear.

Farmer said the couple did not live together but have five children together.

The woman also had two other children.

The ages of the children were not released. They are all fine.
