A 38-year-old Arizona man shot his wife to death and wounded his toddler son before turning the gun on himself, according to reports.

Andrew Corona shot and killed his wife, Ashlee, and then shot his three-year-old son before he shot himself in what police say was a murder-suicide, 12News reported. The toddler was taken to a hospital and is in critical condition.

"She was a vibrant, loving, and caring individual. She loved life and everything it had to offer," states a GoFundMe page set up for the family. "She loved her son with all her heart."

A neighbor's security camera partially recorded the shooting at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. The camera recorded the sounds three loud gunshots, before a ten-second pause, and another single gunshot, 12News reported.

Ashlee's family is already taking steps to support and raise her son, Fox 10 reported.

"It is a big transition for him, going from two parents and having this situation happen, but I mean, I know our side of the family's going be there the best that we can, and I know he'll get that same support from the other side of the family. I can speak on our family to make sure that he's going be well taken care of," her brother, Rudy Lopez Jr., told Fox 10.
