Sheriff Scott D. Hess said Dennis Buehler, 64, shot his wife, Linda Buehler, 58, in the shoulder after a confrontation in their home.

Dennis later set the house on fire, walked outside and then shot himself in the face.
Both Buehlers were taken for medical treatment. Dennis is in satisfactory condition.
During the incident the Orleans County Multi-Agency SWAT team was activated. The Kendall Fire Department also responded once the area was secured by law enforcement. They were assisted at the scene by other fire departments from Orleans and Monroe county fire departments.
