A woman was killed and a man was injured in a double shooting in Wicomico County that led to a police-involved confrontation hours later, according to Maryland State Police.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 2, troopers from the Maryland State Police Salisbury Barrack responded to a residence on North Westover Drive for a reported shooting.

When troopers arrived, they found a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds, state police said.

Both victims were rushed to an area hospital, where the woman was later pronounced dead by hospital personnel. The man is being treated for his injuries, according to officials on Monday, Nov. 3. 

The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of the families, officials said.

Information developed during the investigation led police from the Salisbury City Police Department and Maryland State Police to a suspect.

Shortly before 7 p.m., the suspect was located outside a home on Jefferson Street in Salisbury, where an officer-involved shooting occurred, authorities said.

Officials from the Salisbury Police Department issued a statement after the officer-involved shooting.
