In one of the latest cases of gun violence, a gunman killed two women at a Delaware courthouse on Monday before dying in a shootout with police. The gunman was reportedly the father of a man embroiled in a bitter custody dispute with one of the victims. Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul Shavack announced the shooting.

Sgt. Paul Shavack: “A lone gunman walked into the lobby area of the county courthouse and opened fire. Updated information is, that I can give you, that two civilian females were killed in that shooting. Two capitol police officers were shot in the exchange of gunfire with that gunman. Their conditions now are non-life-threatening. The gunman is dead inside the lobby.”
