A man recently separated from his wife attacked a home Sunday morning, killing her and his mother-in-law before taking his own life, Police in the United States said.

Udoamaka Nwamu, 34, took a handgun to his in-laws’ home in Douglasville, Georgia and fired shots into the front and back of the house , said a senior law enforcement officer. The gunshots resulted in multiple 911 calls and detectives were dispatched to the home.

Before they arrived, Nwamu forced his way inside the home. Detectives were met with gunfire from the house and were forced to take cover, while an emergency response team and hostage negotiator were sent to the scene.

“During the course of the negotiations with Udoamaka, a single gunshot was heard,” the officer said.

The response team then entered the house and found Nwamu dead from what Pounds described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Deputies also found the bodies of Nwamu’s estranged wife, 24-year-old Kaliyah Nwamu, and her mother, 46-year-old Nikita Green.
