Homicide detective Brian Sheehan said the victims are a man and a woman. He did not identify them. Police public information officer Jeff Hughes said both victims were shot.

Sheehan said the suspect in the case was found in a pickup truck nearby and was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening gunshot wounds that appeared to be self inflicted.

This was the second shooting in the 200 block of Cartwright Road recently. A man was shot in the chest on June 13 as he and his wife were in their mobile home. The man was not seriously wounded. Hughes said the two incidents are not related.
