LOWELL, Mass. — A man and woman were rushed to the hospital following an apparent murder-suicide attempt at a home in Lowell, a witness said.
It happened on 12th St. around 10 p.m. Thursday night.
According to a woman who lives on the first floor of the building where it happened, a man showed up with a gun and shot a woman on the second floor before turning the gun on himself.
”She told me, ‘he just showed up and he tried to fight with me,’” Rosa Belliard said. “She called the police right away because he showed her the gun.”
