THREE women are dead and two women were wounded after a gunman opened fire early Wednesday evening in Norfolk, Virginia.
The gunman shot one woman outside of a housing development at around 6pm in what authorities are classifying as a domestic incident.
The suspect was described as gunning down the first woman outside the premises of a building at the Young Terrace housing development located on Whitaker Lane before fleeing the scene, the Associated Press reported.
Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone says shooter then returned for more bloodshed.
Two other women were shot as they were trying to render aid to the the first victim.
"When four other women tried to render aid to the victim, the gunman came back and shot them, too," the police chief said, according to WTKR.
All three victims – the first shooting victim and the two others who tried to help her – died.
Two other women wounded in the attack were rushed to a local hospital, officials said.
The police confirmed the killer was taken into custody about four hours after the first shots were fired.
"The suspect in this shooting has been taken into custody," read the department's tweet.
He described the unidentified killer as a "coward".
A woman confirmed to WTKR that one of the shooting victims was her daughter.
She said that she's expected to survive.
