A 30-year-old man shot and killed a man, critically wounded a woman, and then died by suicide Monday in Cathedral City, authorities said.
Police responded to reports of gunfire in the 69200 block of Nilda Drive shortly after 3:45 a.m., according to a statement from the Cathedral City Police Department.
Officers discovered both 19-year-old victims in a bedroom with gunshot wounds, according to the department.
The man died at the scene despite life-saving efforts by Cathedral City Fire personnel, and the woman was transported to a local hospital in critical but stable condition, authorities said.
Detectives later learned the suspected gunman, a Cathedral City man, fled the scene and was found dead in San Bernardino from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Investigators believe the suspect, who was known to the male victim, entered the bedroom, shot the two, and then drove to San Bernardino, where he took his own life, according to police.
Authorities have not disclosed the identities of the victims or the suspect, and the motive for the shooting remained under investigation.
