Scott Rogers: US TV host and ex-Suffolk teacher shot dead
« on: August 31, 2014, 07:21:14 am »
A US television host and former Suffolk dance school teacher was shot dead by his son-in-law at his home in Louisiana, police have said.

Scott Rogers, 52, a presenter for WAFB-TV, was found in Iberville, Baton Rouge on Wednesday, local police said.

Sheriff Brett Stassi said it was thought Mr Rogers was shot by Mathew Hodgkinson, also his former lover, in a "murder and attempted suicide".

Mr Hodgkinson, 36, is in a coma in a US hospital, said Mr Stassi.
'Gun to his head'

Mr Stassi, the sheriff of police in Iberville, told the BBC: "It looked like a murder and failed attempted suicide. Scott was shot in his bed, under the covers, tucked neatly in.

"It looks like Mathew put the gun to his own head... he was seriously wounded but still alive.

"He's still in a critical condition in an induced coma."

Mr Stassi said his deputy found a note next to the bed.

"We think Mathew wrote it and maybe even put it there after Scott was deceased," he said.
