Police say a Massillon couple was killed Saturday night by a man from Jackson Township who police suspect was the woman’s ex-boyfriend.
The Massillon Police Department Facebook page states officers received a call that a man and woman had been shot in their car at the 900 block of 17th Street Northeast.
The couple appeared to be leaving the male’s house in a car when they were both shot. The gunman then left the scene.
The male, who was driving, died at the scene. The woman was flown to Akron General, where she died during surgery.
Police found the suspect at his residence, where police say he attempted to commit suicide before officers arrested him. He is currently in the hospital.
Massillon police will not release names until Monday. No other information is available at this time.
