Nurse killed in Cohoes murder-suicide involving illegal ghost gun
Gabrielle Forman, a 30-year-old nurse, was shot dead by her husband Jadet Forman, who then took his own life in their Cohoes apartment.
Cohoes officials announced that Gabrielle Forman, a 30-year-old nurse employed at a Saratoga hospital, was fatally shot by her husband Jadet Forman, who then turned the weapon on himself in their apartment. The incident occurred on a Tuesday afternoon, hours after Gabrielle arrived home from a family reunion in Georgia. The couple, married for two years, were in the process of divorcing.
Jadet Forman used a so-called ghost gun, a firearm lacking a serial number and assembled from mailed-order parts, which is illegal to possess. Police noted he had no prior criminal record and no earlier emergency calls had been made to the residence. Family members described Gabrielle as a caring and ambitious individual who was training to become a practitioner and planned to open her own clinic. The investigation continues into the source of the weapon.
