Tragedy struck in the Bronx on Thursday morning as two people were killed in an apparent botched double murder-suicide. The victims, a 55-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman believed to be siblings, were found shot in the head inside a co-op building on Johnson Avenue in Spuyten Duyvil. Additionally, an 86-year-old woman, believed to be their mother, was discovered with a gunshot wound to the face.
The younger woman, found lying in bed, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the elderly victim was rushed to Harlem Hospital in critical but stable condition.
