2 women, suspect dead in Wilmington murder-suicide as violent night leaves 5 dead

Police say two women were killed before the suspect turned the gun on himself inside a Wilmington home Monday night. The shooting came just an hour after a double shooting nearby left another man dead.

Five people have died after a violent night in Wilmington, Delaware Monday. 

Around 8:23 p.m., police responded to a shooting on the 1100 block of West 2nd Street.

Responding officers located a 30-year-old woman and a 19-year-old woman who had been fatally shot. A 12-year-old girl who was also believed to have been shot at that location arrived at the hospital a short time later and was placed in stable condition. 

Police say the suspect in the shooting, a 32-year-old male, was found dead at the scene from what is believed to have been a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

The shooting was one of three in Wilmington Monday night that resulted in death or serious injury.
