A courthouse shooting in Delaware has left three people dead, and two injured according to an article posted today at the Denver Post.
The report says Sgt. Paul Shavack, with the Delaware Police Department has confirmed three people died in a shooting at the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington, and says the suspected gunman and two women are dead. According to the city's mayor, one of the women killed was the shooter's estranged wife. However Shavack said authorities have not confirmed if this was the case.
