The shooting death of Anita Kustok, the mother of Comcast SportsNet reporter Sarah Kustok and former Northwestern quarterback Zak Kustok, has been ruled a homicide by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

Kustok, 58, was found dead at her home in Orland Park on Wednesday with a single gunshot wound to the head.

In a news release, Orland Park Police Cmdr. John Keating said police received a call from Palos Community Hospital about 7 a.m. about a woman who was brought to the hospital by a family member and had suffered a gunshot wound to her head. He said she was dead on arrival at the hospital.

Sources said she was driven to the hospital by her husband, Allan, who was being questioned by police.

At about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, investigators walked out of the Kustok home with two brown paper bags, got into an unmarked police car and drove off. Officers then took down the police tape and left.

Kustok taught at Central Elementary School in Riverside.

She was remembered Wednesday as a special teacher who was adored by her students at Central Elementary School in Riverside.

“She is a beautiful person with a beautiful heart,’’ said Dr. Janice Limperis, the school’s principal. “If anyone had a problem, she would find a positive way to look at it. We are devastated here. Her students are inconsolable. It’s like losing a family member.”

Limperis described Kustok as “vivacious” and “outgoing” and said she had been with the school district for seven years.

This was Kustok’s first year at Central and she taught math and reading to third- through fifth-grades students in a gifted  program called “Quest,” Limperis said. Kustok previously taught at the district’s Hollywood School, Limperis said.

Orland Park police and the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force are investigating the death, police said.

She is the mother of Sarah Kustok and Zak Kustok, both former star athletes at Sandburg High School. Sarah played basketball at DePaul University, and Zak played quarterback for Northwestern University.

A letter sent Wednesday to parents of students at Central Elementary School in Riverside said Kustok went by her middle name of Jeanie.

SportsNet released a statement saying, “We are all deeply saddened by this tragic news.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Sarah and her family.’’
