A man and a woman are dead and a third person was critically wounded in an apparent murder-suicide inside a Bronx apartment, according to police and law enforcement sources.<\/p>\n
A call came in to first responders just before 8 a.m. Thursday about a person shot at the Winston Churchill Building on Johnson Avenue near Kappock Street in Spuyten Duyvil, the FDNY said. The gunfire took place in a lower level apartment, police said, leading to a doorman calling 911.<\/p>\n
A 55-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman were found dead, according to police. It is believed that the man was the shooter and took his life after killing the woman.<\/p>\n
Additionally, EMS treated an 86-year-old woman at the scene who was rushed to Harlem Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n
All three of the people involved are believed to have lived in the building, though a connection beyond that among the three was not immediately clear. <\/p>\n
Police said they were not searching for anyone else involved, and there was no further risk to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man and a woman are dead and a third person was critically wounded in an apparent murder-suicide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-108875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-nyc","12":"tag-the-bronx","13":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","14":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
