VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Police confirm they are investigating multiple shooting deaths that happened early Sunday morning in the Windsor Woods neighborhood of Virginia Beach.
Officers responded to a call of a shooting just after midnight at a home on Gateway Place, which is not far from Mount Trashmore.
Virginia Beach police said they arrived to find three people -- two adult men and a woman -- suffering from gunshot wounds. One of the men and the woman were pronounced dead at the scene. The second man was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Police said that based on a preliminary investigation, detectives believe the shooting was a domestic situation, and that one of the men shot the other two people before turning the gun on himself. Investigators said the gunman was the brother of the woman victim, and the other man who was shot was her significant other.
The names of the deceased have not been released at this time.
A woman who lives nearby but did not want to be identified said she heard gunshots.
“I just heard a couple gunshots last night past midnight... about three or four gunshots and immediately after a few sirens around the neighborhood,” she said. “But this isn’t a crime-filled neighborhood so this is just a big shock to us.”
Another neighbor said he heard screaming coming from the home at the same time.
The investigation remains ongoing. If you know anything that may help detectives, you're asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-562-5887 or submit a tip on the P3 tips app. You never have to give your name.
