EAST LIVERPOOL - A woman and man were killed and a second woman was wounded in a shooting early today in East Liverpool.
The East Liverpool Police Department responded to 1126 Avondale St. at 2:38 a.m.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a 25-year-old man dead on the sidewalk, a 22-year-old woman dead on the front porch and another 22-year-old woman was found inside the residence suffering from gunshot wounds.
Early indications are that it was a murder/suicide, and police officers are not actively seeking a suspect.
The male found on the sidewalk a block away from the home died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to preliminary information. There was an argument before the shootings happened, and the male reportedly was the ex-boyfriend of the injured female.
The injured female was airlifted to a Pittsburgh hospital due to the extent of her injuries.
Officers cleared the scene at approximately 6 a.m.
Names of those injured or killed were not immediately released.
Today's shooting was the third murder/suicide to occur in the Ohio Valley in recent weeks. Police said a man in Wellsburg murdered his wife and stepson and then took his own life while in Martins Ferry, a man killed his wife and then committed suicide.
