Valentino was not responsive when they arrived, and she was declared dead at the scene, the reports said.
Valentino, 57, died of a single gunshot wound to the chest, Colquitt County Coroner Verlyn Brock said. The gunshot wound was self-inflicted.
The death in that manner was the fourth for a woman in a three-month period, according to coroner’s records. Such events where a woman is the victim occurring over such a short time period is highly unusual, Brock said.
