Two people were found dead in North Philly Saturday afternoon in a possible murder-suicide.
Authorities responded to reports of a shooting inside a home on the 2600 block of West Somerset Street just before 3 p.m., according to police.
Officials say when they arrived they found a 40-year-old man dead with a single gunshot wound to the head. They discovered his body in the basement of the home.
The second victim, a 30-year-old woman was dead from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to reports.
"These people are very nice people," said Vanessa Matthews, a neighbor. "I couldn't believe anything like this would happen to them."
Relatives of the two victims arrived shortly after police discovered the couple's bodies and a fight erupted among the various family members.
This is the city's second double homicide in 24 hours.
