The wife of a DEA employee was killed by a gunman while she was in her car with her husband and two children.

Tracy Czaczkowski, 44 of Buffalo Grove, Ill., was shot in her neck Sunday afternoon, and the suspected shooter is in police custody, ABC News reports. 

She is the wife of an 11-year DEA employee.

“Tracy is a loving wife of 15 years, mother of two tender age children, daughter and friend,” the DEA said in a statement. “The family is asking for privacy in this difficult time so that they can comfort each other. The family would like to say thank you for the prayers and out pouring of support for Tracy.”

Police said they don’t believe the husband’s employment had anything to do with the shooting, calling it a “random act.”
