The shooting was reported shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday at 7510 Southwest 152nd Avenue at the Sunrise at Sunset apartment complex.
Police say Alina Gregoria Lomonte Carrera, 47, got into an argument with her estranged husband, 56-year-old Manuel Macias Rodriguez, in the complex parking lot. The couple's two sons, one just 16-years-old, were upstairs in the apartment at the time.

The incident is being described as an attempted murder-suicide by police. An investigation is ongoing.
The sons were taken to police headquarters for questioning.
