BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Three women and a suspected gunman are dead in what police believe was a murder-suicide Monday night in Brooklyn. 

It happened around 11:30 p.m. inside an apartment at the Van Dyke Houses located at 362 Sutter Avenue in Brownsville.

Officers say a 45-year old, a 20-year old, and a teenager were shot and killed. 

In an interview on Mornings on 1, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said officers found the body of the primary suspect nearby on Mother Gaston Boulevard.

He had shot himself in the head.

"It's just a terrible situation all the way around. We have video of the incident where the individual then leaves and takes his own life just a short distance away. It appears to be domestic in nature at this time,” Shea said.

Police said a child called 911 and was not hurt.
