"First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce confirms the murder victims are husband and wife. They were shot dead in the street. The alleged gunman, their neighbor, committed suicide inside his home on West Bergh Street. Both a long gun and pistol were used by gunman @WNEP," Chelsea Strub tweeted from the scene.

It is unclear if the neighbors had previous altercations.
