BAY SHORE, N.Y. (AP) - Police on Long Island say a man fatally shot his former girlfriend and then himself in a Bay Shore apartment while five children were inside the home.

Police say officers responding to a report of a shooting found 43-year-old James Snead, of Long Beach, and his former girlfriend, 42-year-old Karolyn Encarnacion, dead of gunshots wounds Wednesday night.

Suffolk Police say Encarnacion's daughters, ages 12 and 14, were in the victim's apartment with 3 of their friends when they heard a scream and gunshots coming from a bedroom.

Police say the children went to a neighbor who called police.
