Man suspected of stabbing wife found dead

? A man charged into a school where his estranged wife was a teacher Thursday morning, firing a gun before stabbing her as her fifth-grade class watched, police said. He later was found dead in his home after apparently shooting himself during a standoff with police.

The teacher, Christi Layne, underwent surgery and “should be fine,” her attorney told The Columbus Dispatch. Personnel at Cabell Hospital in Huntington, W.Va., where she was being treated, would not release her condition Thursday night.

Police originally said William Michael Layne shot his wife at Notre Dame Elementary School, but Chief Charles Horner said it was unclear whether a gunshot fired in the school hit her.
