Pipe bomb detonated during West Bend murder-suicide

Posted: Oct. 15, 2009

A man in West Bend tried to help his mother early Thursday as her ex-husband chased her down and shot her. The ex-husband then shot himself in the head, police said.

A Milwaukee police bomb squad team and federal agents helped West Bend police investigate the chaotic scene Thursday morning in the 1200 block of N. 12th Ave., where the victim, Alice Gill, 52, and the shooter, Jeffrey Gill, 50, died.

A news release from the West Bend Police Department says investigators later learned that a pipe bomb had been detonated in Alice Gill's vehicle during the shooting, which occurred just after midnight.

Police say the 27-year-old son heard yelling and a car horn beeping shortly after midnight and went outside to investigate. He saw his mother and her ex-husband struggling in the vehicle and went to help his mother.

That's when Jeffrey Gill started shooting and Alice Gill ran, police said. The shooter chased his ex-wife in the front yard of the house, shot her several times and killed himself, the news release says.

Police noted the Gills were divorced two years ago and that Jeffrey Gill had past arrests on suspicion of domestic violence and possession of a controlled substance, as well as six times for drunken driving
