PHOENIX – Police are investigating a double shooting in Scottsdale that took place near 7th Street and Greenway on Tuesday evening.

Police say a 52-year-old woman was shot several times inside her home at around 4 p.m. and was taken to the hospital. Her medical condition has not been released but she is expected to survive.

At about 6 p.m. the officers entered the home where they believed the suspect, whom witnesses said was the woman’s boyfriend, had barricaded himself and found him dead.

Dan Rayhorn, a neighbor, tells 3TV, “This normally doesn’t go on in this neighborhood. It’s usually pretty safe and pretty quiet so this is kind of a shocker. I really don’t know what’s going on other than I heard it was a shooting…that’s a little out of character for our street.”

Investigators are now trying to determine whether the man died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot or if he was also the victim of foul play.
