Two men are dead in what police termed a murder-suicide in Schuylkill County Friday morning.
Police say a former employee at Joe's Used Auto Parts shot a current employee, then drove to another site about three miles away and turned the gun on himself.
Police identified the victim as 63-year-old Richard Eli Greene of Lehighton. The suspect, also deceased, is 46-year-old Scott Allen Baver of New Ringgold.
Police said that Baver parked his car outside the business around 7:30 a.m. Around that time, Greene was walking toward the building. Baver reportedly exited the vehicle and proceeded to shoot Greene multiple times with a handgun.
Baver then left the property and proceeded onto Route 443. He drove to another property about three miles west of the borough of New Ringgold, where he was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Greene and Baver were both pronounced dead by a deputy with the Schuylkill County Coroner's office.
State Police at Frackville are investigating the incident.
