10-year-old girl dead, woman injured in domestic murder-suicide

A 10-year-old girl died and her mother was seriously injured in a domestic-related murder-suicide.

Norfolk police received reports of a shooting at 3:27 a.m. Sunday in the 200 block of West Balview Avenue.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found two people dead — the girl and 35-year-old Nathan L. White II.

After investigation, police say White shot the girl and her mother before shooting himself.

The girl’s mother, 30, was taken to a hospital with injuries considered to be life-threatening. She was still in the hospital in critical condition as of Sunday afternoon.

Police did not specify the nature of White’s relationship to the victims beyond saying the shooting was domestic.
