NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Monday morning police were investigating two separate deadly shooting incidents.

The other incident happened just 15 minutes later and only five miles away. Police said a man got into an argument with his girlfriend at a house on Gwen Street.

Investigators said 20-year-old Brandon Watson shot and killed 19-year-old Audra McCullough. Watson then went outside and shot himself.

Watson survived, but he was listed in critical condition Sunday at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
