A man killed himself after shooting a woman early Monday afternoon in the unit block of North 17th Street in Wilson Borough, Northampton County District Attorney Terry Houck confirms.

Sammy Greggs, who was working nearby, said he heard four shots, saw a screaming woman with at least two wounds and there was a man dead in the backyard.

The woman was taken to an area hospital for treatment, a county emergency dispatch supervisor said.

The incident about 1:20 p.m. remains under investigation.

County Coroner Zachary Lysek arrived about 2 p.m. to join the probe initiated by borough police.

Identifies were being withheld until family members are notified, Houck said. Lysek will release the names once notification is made.

A few people stood outside homes talking, but no crowds gathered near the scene.

Borough firefighters blocked off North 17th Street at Liberty Street and crime tape was also stretched across Spring Garden Street.
