Eagle Police have released more information on what they report is an apparent murder-suicide in a shooting that occurred on Wednesday, March 8, inside a Westmark Credit Union near Eagle Rd. and State St.

A release from the police department says that initial information indicates that a 38-year-old man, identified by the Ada County Coroner as Michael Lugaresi, walked into the credit union just after 1 pm on Wednesday and shot two people, killing his estranged wife Brittany Lugaresi and injuring another.

Early evidence indicates that Michael Lugaresi then walked out of the building and to the parking lot where he shot himself in the head. Emergency personnel took him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead early Thursday morning.

The woman who was injured is being treated in a local hospital for what appear to be serious but non-life-threatening injuries. According to police, Michael and Brittany Lugaresi were married but going through a divorce. Initial information indicates Michael targeted his wife in the attack. Brittany worked at the credit union and was eating lunch with coworkers when the shooting occurred.

Police report that there does not appear to be a connection between the shooter and the woman who was injured, other than she was a co-worker.
