UPDATE: 10:25 a.m. | The body of a man found near a pickup in Snohomish County this morning is believed to be a man who shot and wounded his ex-wife in Kent this morning, according to police.

Snohomish County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said the pickup was found at the Lake Serene Trailhead, just off of Hwy 2 between Gold Bar and Index. Ireton said that deputies found a man next to the truck with what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
