Man kills two, then himself in Hazelwood


ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
Hazelwood police were trying to determine the relationship between a woman and 
a man found shot and killed Sunday inside a home along the 4800 block of 
Aubuchon Road and another man found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot in 
Bridgeton, said Hazelwood Lt. Jim Hudanick. 

The man and woman in the house were found about 6 p.m., Hudanick said. Three 
toddlers inside the home at the time of the shooting were not injured, he said.

Hazelwood Police Chief Carl Wolf was quoted in news reports saying a man called 
his father, who lives in Texas, and told him he had shot two people at a mobile 
home park and asked his father to take care of his children. The man's father 
then called Hazelwood police, who found the victims in the house.

Hudanick said a passer-by found the suspect in his car a short distance from 
the murder scene and called police, who found the suspect dead from a 
self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

Wolf was quoted in news reports as saying the suspect used a 12-gauge shot gun 
to kill the couple and himself.

Police would not release the names of the victims.
