The Murder-Suicide at Bliss in San Clemente
Bliss Boutique was open for business as usual on Saturday, with customers coming and going, selecting designer clothing items throughout the day. All of this came to a shocking halt at about 2:00 pm in the afternoon.
At that time, passersby could hear gunfire coming from the store. A man turned a gun on a woman in the store and then shot himself. Both individuals were ultimately declared dead at the scene.
The relationship between the man and woman was not immediately known. What was clear was that they were not employees or owners of the establishment. They had come into the store like any other customer and the initial presumption was that they were patrons.
The San Clemente – Orange County Sheriff’s Substation was quickly on the scene. In addition, because both individuals were declared dead at the scene, the Orange County Coroner’s Office was also immediately dispatched.
The establishment was cordoned off to allow for a thorough investigation. Once that was completed, the bodies of the deceased individuals were transported to the Coroner’s office for forensic evaluations and autopsies. Once the investigation at the scene was concluded, and the bodies were removed, the business was returned to the possession of the owners.
