The suspect was found alive with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment. Police did not immediately release his identity.

While investigators have yet to determine a motive, Williams said there appeared to be “some form of personal relationship” between the victims and the suspect.

“This is a very unfortunate, tragic incident, and our hearts and thoughts go out to the families that are impacted by this and any friends and loved ones,” Williams said.
