Arrest warrant issued for wife of off-duty Massachusetts cop found dead in home

Police in Worcester, Massachusetts have issued an arrest warrant for Karen Solomon, the wife of off-duty police officer Kurt Solomon, who was found dead inside their home. The search for Karen Solomon, 58, has been ongoing for four days, with authorities utilizing helicopters, divers, sonar, and search dogs. The arrest warrant charges her with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon resulting in serious bodily injury, and states she is considered armed and dangerous.

Kurt Solomon, a 31-year veteran of the Worcester Police Department, was a 57-year-old patrolman. The cause of his death remains under investigation, but the injuries were reportedly inflicted by a sharp object. Karen Solomon, founder of First HELP, a suicide prevention non-profit for first responders and their families, was last seen on surveillance footage walking on a street after the incident.

Her disappearance has prompted authorities to close several public areas near Coes Reservoir indefinitely, and anyone with information is urged to contact Worcester Police.
