BRIDGEPORT


Bridgeport police say they're investigating an apparent murder-suicide after a woman and man were found dead and another woman was wounded over the weekend.

Officers say a woman was found shot to death in the driver's seat of a car parked in a driveway on Atwater Street at about 2 a.m. Saturday, and another woman was found bleeding from her upper torso near the car.

Witnesses told police a car sped away shortly after the shootings. Officers were able to find the car on Jones Avenue, but they heard a gunshot when they arrived. Authorities say they found the body of a man who apparently shot himself in the head inside a home.

Police have not released the names of the victims. The wounded woman was brought to St. Vincent's Medical Center. Her condition was unknown.
