A 55-year-old woman was fatally shot at a Maplewood apartment complex Wednesday morning by a suspect who then shot and wounded himself, police said.
Officers about 10:45 a.m. were called to a report of gunshots and someone lying on the ground at Pondview Apartments in the 2500 block of Ivy Avenue, n
orth of Maryland Avenue and west of Century Avenue.
The woman was found in a hallway with gunshot wounds and taken to Regions Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Officers learned the suspect, a 56-year-old man, was possibly inside the woman’s apartment and armed.
A perimeter was set up, and neighboring apartment units were evacuated. A shelter-in-place order was issued.
The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team responded and made entry into the apartment, where they found the man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. His condition was not released by police.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting Maplewood police in the investigation.
