Two Shot, 1 Dead, in Suburban Delaware

Woman dies, man hurt in shooting inside home

A woman was found dead and a man was left hurt after a shooting inside a New Castle County home Wednesday afternoon.

County Police arrived at the scene of the double shooting on the 200 block of Beau Tree Drive just after 4 p.m.

They found a 50-year-old woman dead and a 31-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He remained hospitalized Wednesday night.

Police remained on the scene early Wednesday evening. They said there were no signs of forced entry.

No word on possible motive.

Police did say however that the home is the same place when Donna Sciglitano shot her 59-year-old husband Nino before attempting to kill herself in September 2011. Sciglitano, who police say had nothing to do with Wednesday's incident, is awaiting sentencing after pleading no contest to second-degree murder.
