DA Identifies Slain Woman in MontCo Murder-Suicide

The Montgomery County District Attorney's office identified the slain Montgomery County woman, who officers found wounded at the entrance of a North Wales home.

Brienne Francisco, 36, was pronounced dead at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center Thursday night, shortly after officers found the gunshot victim on Karen's Court in the Montgomery Place condominiums in North Wales, Pennsylvania.

A gunman had reportedly barricaded himself inside the home around 6:45 p.m., according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman.

A SWAT team entered the residence and discovered a 56-year-old man dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Ferman said. A revolver was next to his body.

Authorities have yet to identify the man as they are still working to notify his family of his death.
