Two people were killed and one person wounded in an apparent murder-suicide in New Haven early Tuesday morning, police said.
Investigators believe a man shot two women, killing one and critically wounding the other, before turning the gun on himself, local Fox affiliate WTIC reported.
Cops arrived at the scene on Congress Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. and located the three people suffering from gunshot wounds. All three people involved are adults, police said.
Two children were in the house at the time of the killings and called 911, according to WTIC. The children are both around 10 years old.
Police did not release additional information about the shooting, including any relationship between the three people. New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker and Police Chief Karl Jacobsen are scheduled to lead a press conference on the incident Tuesday afternoon.
There was a similar murder-suicide in Connecticut last month, when Joel Martinez, 32, fatally shot Cynthia Jiminez-Pacheco, 33, in a Hartford apartment building, then turned the gun on himself. Cops said Martinez and Jiminez-Pacheco were in a prior relationship.
Earlier in the year, a 56-year-old Old Greenwich man fatally shot his 83-year-old mother and then took his own life in their home, according to police. The gunman, Stein-Erik Soelberg, shared his paranoia with ChatGPT before killing his mom, Suzanne Adams, and then himself in August, investigators said.
